David Justice Can't Stop the Fire

Posted Oct 24th 2007 5:29PM by Cheryl Thompson
Filed under: Casually Obsessed

David JusticeAthletes have been known to run up the score, out run opponents (and sometimes the law), but trust they cannot escape fire.

According to TMZ, the former Mr. Halle Berry (yes, he was a baseball player too) David Justice's home has been destroyed by the wildfires in Southern California.

Justice isn't the only sports figure affected by the raging SoCal flames. LaDainian Tomlinson, Shaun Phillips, Shawne Merriman and Luis Castillo were among several San Diego Chargers players, coaches and staff members who had to evacuate their homes.

The San Diego fires forced the Chargers to practice in Arizona this week, and there's speculation that San Diego's scheduled home game this Sunday against the Texans will most likely be moved to Dallas. (Not to mention debate over whether the NFL should move or simply cancel the game.)
Although Justice's home burned to the ground, the San Diego Union-Tribune reports the homes of Tomlinson and former San Diego Padres player Phil Nevin did not.

16. why is David Justice referred to as "Mr Halle Berry?" He had a successful career in his own right - he's a celebrity too! Bedsides, she's just a movie actress - big deal! It's not as if she'd found a cure for cancer or HIV!

19. ellen, david justice did not abuse her - it was wesley snipes - get your facts straight!

20. These AHOLES could care less about Halle Berry or Daved Justice. Theyre just disrespecting him because hes a black man.

21. Halle and David haven't been together in forever. Why is there a need to show a picture of them together? And who cares if he has a lot of money so that he can rebuild. He lost everything in his home. You can NEVER replace personal items...I don't care how much or how little money you have. Stop being ignorant people.

22. The reason a lot of those people didn't leave is because they're materialistic. They're so busy trying to "save" their posessions, they want to "be there" when the fire hits their home so they can start putting it out right away as opposed to waiting for the fire dept. I'm not sure but I doubt any of them are actual firefighters and the "garden hose" they're attempting to use is not gonna cut it. Material things can be replaced...lives cannot.
I hope everyone gets out safely, and for the sake of those who decided to stay put, I hope the items they're trying to save are worth it.

23. I think some of you got it twisted. . .Halle was Mrs David Justice, she went after him as she usually does when she wants a man. Halle is indeed not as innocent as some may think. She is from my home state, Ohio, and she has been known to be very aggressive, argumentative, and demanding with the men in her life. Just look at her record with men, real men are not going to put up with her antics, as you see! lata

24. well, at least dave is alright. maybe he can stay will halle for a minute and maybe they can get they groove back!! yeah buddy! (after the baby comes out, of course!)

mitch at 4:05PM on Nov 2nd 2007

25. @melabbo and any other insensitive pricks, he's got three kids all under the age of 8, think about that for a second. He never cheated on nor abused Halle, despite what you may think. She even says so in the February 5, 1997 USA Today Baseball Weekly, and May 13, 1996 issue of People Magazine, both published after they were divorced. So if Halle says nothing happened, why do you think something did? By the way, Halle does admit being beaten by a former boyfriend, around 1990-91 before she met Justice...likely either Christoper Williams or Wesley Snipes. But your informed opinion was good too.
