Apparently he is a decent baseball player at some small school.

That kid is a shinning example of why the Yankees are a scourge on society as a whole. Not since Dan Marino screwed Ray Finkel in Super Bowl XIX has there been a greater sports tragedy. To reward that kid for committing fraud, for breaking the rules of baseball, is unAmerican. Guiliani had Jeffery Maier Day in NYC shortly after the event. Everyone is currently on Bonds for alleged steroid use in baseball. Where were you when this kid reached into play to steal the series from Baltimore. Unlike Bonds, there is actual video and audio to prove that Maier did this. Rich Garcia is also a willing accomplice to this crime against humanity, after the fact. Mr. Maier is the true villain in this story.
I saw this piece the other day when it ran on SportsCenter (I was in the hotel and there was nothing left to watch, ok. Sue me!) Those sychophants in Bristol, gleefully touted the hit record he set. I fumed and thought of poor Tony Tarasco. Tony Tarasco is a shell of his former self. In the blink of an eye, a 12-year old kid dashed the dreams and hopes of Charm City's fans. The O's were never quite the same and are still trying to dig out of the emotional hole that day left. Dream of that day, when I finally meet Jeffery. His eyes will meet mine and I will coolly reply "Unleaded and check the tires while your at it, son."
If the Red Sox can recover from Game 6, then I too believe that Orioles fans everywhere can get over this. Someday, possibly...

They did not raise their child to obviously respect the game of baseball. By doing so, they are not, nor is their child patriotic, since baseball is the national pastime. They should be deported.
As sure as Bartman woke up that morning in Chicago, with the express purpose of hatching his fiendish plot to keep the Cubs out of the WS, I believe that Jeffrey Maier is guilty and embodies everything that is wrong with society today.
Bill Buckner is innocent! Calvin Schiraldi is the real culprit! Born and raised in the DC-area. I grew up an O's fan and will die an Oriole's fan. If you are implying that I am a Cubs fan, you are sadly mistaken. Nor do I enjoy beating my head against he wall, er paying for tickets to see a mediocre at best baseball team, year in, year out. Hey Cubs fans, I am happy that I lived long enough to see a NL team compete for the WS in a game played in Chicago.
From Way Out in Right Field
"This is a story about fate, a story about a curse -- if you care to believe in such things. It is a story about coming to grips with them, and maybe, just maybe, reversing them. It is a story about a 12-year-old boy in a black T-shirt who is now a polished 22-year-old man with a marketable talent. And it is a story about a beleaguered baseball team that may be preparing to take a wild stab at manipulating fate by confronting it head-on.
Jeffrey Maier, a future Baltimore Oriole? Oh, dear heaven. The blood of Orioles fandom boils at the very thought of the name, let alone the thought of such a traitorous alliance."
