Mischa Barton is actually not the worst example of drunk driving this week.
Jim Leyritz, a member of the New York Yankees championship teams in the 1990s, is being held at Broward County Jail in Florida, after being an arrest for DUI and vehicular homicide.
WPLG-TV and TMZ report that, according to police, Leyritz was driving a Ford SUV that crashed into another vehicle in downtown Fort Lauderdale early this morning; the other car rolled, the female driver was ejected and she later died of injuries sustained in the crash.
Leyritz was booked at 4:30 AM on two charges of DUI and is being held on $11,000 bond.
For this staff writer of The Hollywood Gossip - along with numerous other baseball fans - Leyritz is best known for twirling his bat after every pitch, as well as slamming a dramatic, game-tying, three-run home run against the Atlanta Braves in Game 4 of the 1996 World Series.
No amount of steroids can help him now.
