One of the region’s most well-recognized citizens — the television voice of the Cardinals, no less — has lost his job because of yet another bad decision tied to his admitted alcoholism.
Dan McLaughlin, who has left Cardinals telecaster Bally Sports Midwest in what on Thursday was termed a mutual decision following his recent third arrest for drunken driving, has no excuses for the latest incident. Some people want to vilify him, which is understandable after the officer who arrested him last week in Creve Coeur said McLaughlin was a “danger to the community” because of his actions.
