Bill MacDonald - Panther
by Sethy on Apr 6, 2009 10:46 PM PDT
Email
PrintWhile Joe Saunders and Howie Kendrick panthered their way to lead the Angels to a thrilling Opening Day win, Bill MacDonald scored on his own near the Carl's Jr. on the first-base side of Angel Stadium.
My buddy caught this action while he got up to get some food - around the time that Howie hit his HR.
This is bad.

I'll have to take your word for it
because outside the suit and hair color, I don’t see the resemblance between this photo and the guy in the cellcam shots.
Of course, that might be because the cellcam shots have me wincing in PAIN! I cannot count even the number of things wrong in that sequence!!!
oh yeah that's NBC's Chris Hansen.......host of To Catch a Predator....
not Bill Macdonald…….
But Bill could be meeting Mr Hanson if they ever decide to renew the show in the future…..

We ain't getting on the guys case because of his ugliness.
Nope. It’s because he is using his very fine power suit and tie, and sooper-shiny dress shoes, to hide out amidst 43,000 people in casual clothes while camped out on a concrete bench behind a trash can reeking of mustard-stained hot dog wrappers so he can hit on his neighbor’s daughter using his cheap teenager moves while her ‘wingman’ tries to remain impressed while chatting on her cellphone.
Being ugly is just a bonus.

I hope he has a good explanation, like it really is his daughter...
…if not – and if that was my daughter – I’d be looking to separate his head from his body.
I really don't understand most of the comments.
What in the HELL is the matter with you guys? There’s a lot I don’t know, but it appears;
1) It’s not his daughter. Can any of you imagine running your hand along your daughter’s leg as seen in one of the photos? And kissing like that?
2) She appears to be…16 to 18 years old? If that?
3) He’s doing this in full view of the public?
Unless there are some REAL good explanations, I don’t find this the least bit humorous. This isn’t funny…and definitely not PANTHER.
Correction. There are no real good explanation YET.
I’d imagine this post will not remain unnoticed to Angels media personnel..
I re-qualify the following comment missing some important facts…I am ONLY reacting to what appears in the photos. And the appearance is that a 40-ish male has the hots for a teenager.
I can understand reserving judgement.
I can understand qualifying on’e reaction.
I absolutely cannot understand reacting to these photos and saying some version of “Right on Man! What a STUD!”. If that’s your reaction, there’s something wrong with YOU.

I don’t think Billy Mac has done anything wrong here. How do we know the age of the young lady? Can you all read her middle school ID badge from here? No.
Billy Mac, even though I don’t really like the guy, is INNOCENT until proven guilty.
Maybe she’s 22 and likes to wear pigtails!? Jeez. Everyone ran away with this one.

I would think he'd be smart enough not to mess with jailbait
especially out in public like this (I’m not saying it’s okay in private, just he’d have to be REALLY stupid to do it in public).
So, I’m going to assume she’s over 18 and consenting…which makes these photos funny. If it comes out she’s under 18, then that changes everything and there’s not one thing funny about this.

As Welch put it
“he is certainly in violation of the half-plus-seven-years rule, which is where my personal creep-o-meter starts ringing”
In my opinion if it’s 2 twenty year olds by the Carl’s Jr. that’s one thing. But it’s not, regardless of exactly how old that girl is she is MUCH younger than he is to the point where one could think she is underage. He represents FSN and the Angels to an extent and that is certainly not the image that he should be presenting. If she’s 18 I could care less what he does in his personal life, but by him doing that in public that is not appropriate.
no offense, but youre overreacting
and if she’s 23+(which she looks like to me) youre REALLY overreacting. young girls poaching successful older guys isnt anything new and older guys flirting with younger girls isnt either. Theres no evidence that he’s doing anything other than flirting with this girl. youre acting like he was railing this girl on top of the dugout.
take a trip to newport or corona del mar and look at some of the married couples walking around and you’ll realize the age gap between this guy and a girl hes simply TALKING TO isnt that uncommon in these neck of the woods

No offense taken. I have not "overreacted".
I have qualified about every post by what I DON’T know, and I do so again. I have reacted to appearance ONLY. If she’s 23+, you will not see another word from me on the subject.
If she turns out to be a minor, what will you have to say?

Actually
I don’t really have a problem with a 18 year old going out with a guy Billy Mac’s age and I do certainly understand it’s not uncommon although it’s certainly not commonplace. However what I do have a problem with is Billy Mac doing it at work, at an Angels game that is suppose to be family friendly.
I don’t really want my son seeing some old guy running his hand up a girls leg who is obviously far far younger than him. Can’t he meet younger chicks at bars or at least be a bit more discrete than he was lastnight?
Also isn't he being payed to provide analysis of the game.
So apparently the Angels won 3-0, not exactly sure how, just decided to head over back to the field when I heard some fireworks. Guess Saunders pitched a 3 hit shutout! Good job Joe!
So, the guy has to work 24-7 while at the stadium? Don’t you get a break time at work or are you slave labor? Just sayin’ — not a Billy Mac fan, but am a fan of people’s rights to have relationships and privacy and labor laws that allow 15 minute breaks every 4 hours, etc, etc…
Also, creep-o-meter — is that a new law enacted somewhere?

Billy Mac
You say you are a fan of PRIVACY, which is exactly where his time spent with that girl should have been, in private.
And of course he may not have broken any laws. That girl probably is over 18. However as a society we are allowed to have MORALS, or at least we were. Morals have eroded so far that I now teach girls who have no issue with the fact that they are pregnant, without a job, without a husband, without an education, without anything they need to start a family. But hey it’s NOT ILLEGAL so who cares. They didn’t break any laws, well their baby’s daddy did, but not them so it’s ok. Billy Mac probably didn’t break any laws, but I do not at think those pictures paint a picture of appropriate actions on his part.
As an ultra-conservative myself, I tend to agree with most of your “society is crumbling” comments. However, we cannot judge this situation, my friend. Yes, I think it is wrong, but who am I to judge?

If you think it is wrong
then a better person than Billy Mac.
In my opinion your logic is one of the biggest reasons are society is falling apart. I can tell you if I took a poll of my HS students maybe 1/4 of them know the correct definition of a bastard, the others would just think it’s a cuss word.
I’m not saying we should return to putting a Scarlet A on Billy, but we need to say we disagree with it and that at a minimum he should do it in public, otherwise younger generations will see it as accepted behavior.
Yeah...way too judgemental...
…if you have 14 kids, no steady job, no husband, no BF, no means to support them…its OK…who are we to judge? Besides, isn’t that what welfare, AFDC, and food stamps are for?
Speaking of ultra-conservative...
…interesting fact of the day:
The lowest legal age of consent in Europe is this country – 12 years old
I see red people
This is dangerous territory here folks...
I don’t think I’m being overdramatic by saying that these photos could potentially end the man’s career in Los Angeles (as well as his personal life, marriage, etc.). And if it turns out that the female in question is legit, well then I’m sure he’ll be none too pleased and could possibly take action against HH.
Like someone stated above, you have to give him the benefit of the doubt until proven otherwise. Seriously, he can’t be that stupid, right?
How could he take legal action?
The pictures were taken in public and people are speculating about her age. I think maybe he could take legal action if someone said that’s my neighbors daughter and I know her and she’s 16 when in fact that was a lie.
What action could he even dream of taking?
He was makking a girl in public, at his workplace, in a setting with 43,000 people. The camera noted the reality, the website shared it with others.
As for “benefit of the doubt,” he is certainly in violation of the half-plus-seven-years rule, which is where my personal creep-o-meter starts ringing.
I guess maybe I am being overdramatic
It’s just difficult to wrap my head around the fact that the guy could be so stupid (if he’s doing something illegal).
by ReggieBullits on Apr 7, 2009 10:12 AM PDT up reply actions
I leave that up to the Rev
I come from the standpoint that even if the girl is of age, it is about the creepiest thing I have ever seen in awhile.
Given the fact he is in open public and making no attempt to conceal his, um, affection for the young woman, he leaves himself open to the ridicule and conjecture. It isn’t as if someone set up a sting cam in his residence. And frankly, the fact that he is a locally-known person who is on the job site shows very poor judgment on his part.

YOU DON'T KNOW THE POWER OF THE DARKSIDE.....
Intent
To clarify…I love Billy Mac. Growing up in So Cal and watching Prime Ticket when I was 9, I’ve always found him to be awesome, only to be backed up by seeing him at the Stadium on multiple occassions.
There is no intent to say “caught ya” or anything else with this post. It’s to report on what I/we witnessed on Opening Day, and because Billy Mac is relevant to anyone that watches the Angels on TV, I posted it here.
If I could’ve had been as prepared with my cam phone as my buddy was with his, I would’ve captured the drunk guy that jumped up on the right-center field wall, facing the crowd to start the wave – inches from falling 25-feet to the warning track, where Hunter would’ve had to scrape him off the dirt. Alas….I’m slow with that damn cam phone.
Taking the photos and posting them is one thing.
Giving him the label of “panther” is quite another. IF – yes, it’s a big if – she turns out to be a minor, will you still think this is “panther” behavior?
I saw that dude.
I had visions of him falling and Torii making an amazing diving play to keep him from hitting the ground. Then the Strike Force would come charging out of the RF tunnel, pelting him point blank repeatedly with the t-shirt gun.

If I did, please cut and paste any and all comments directed to you where I discussed “the type of person you are.” What I asked above is IF you will still think this is deserving of “PANTHER” status if she turns out to be a teenager. And your answer is?_______________
Appreciate your honesty.
Since you think this would garner “Panther” status if she turns out to be a teenager, I just wonder if you have a cut-off age where it would not be appropriate. 16? 15?, 14? 10 year old? Just curious where you might draw a line. And your answer is?_______________

thrill000 hitting a little too close to the truth? You really didn't answer what he wrote.
You called him a prick, but couldn’t bring yourself to disagree. I’ll give you the benefit of the doubt and assume you are just possibly re-considering.
In the event you are, let’s add a bit more. You already have agreed above it is “panther” – and therefore apparently somehow courageous – for a 40ish guy to “make-out” with a teenager.
In Sethy’s world, what is going too far behavior-wise? Or are there no barriers there either? Forget Billy Mac. Let’s say it’s…your 40ish neighbor is having intimate sexual relations – fairly open about it too – with a…14 year old neighbor. How would you react to that specific example? What the hell…I’ll give 5 choices;
1) It’s nobody’s business. Leave them alone!
2) It’s OK…just don’t be so…public about it.
3) Old man find someone a little closer to your age!
4) I look forward to testifying against you…and I hope you enjoy your visit to San Quentin.
5) Other (Sethy specifies).
FWIW, if I could restrain myself and not beat the 40ish guy senseless, I would choose #4. I tend to take child – yes, including teen – abuse seriously.
Look forward to your response.

SethyWorld
Sorry folks, we’re closed for two weeks to clean and repair America’s favorite family fun park. Sorry… uhhuh, uhhuh, uhhuh.
I have nothing important to say.
DUDE... it is NOT NOT NOT about the girl AT ALL
it is about him being in the suit, on the job, representing fox sports and the angels, in front of people buying food in the line. Arrogance and poor judgment.
10,000 people within a ten mile radius of the Stadium can do this guy’s job (he isn’t even watching the game, yet he commented on it in the post-game report) and he is tossing every shred of professionalism away for a piece of ass and ego stroke.
Would you want your company to sponsor a sporting event that this man hosts knowing he might get caught in an even bigger, messier and more public scandal next time?
...which is exactly why I wouldn't label the behavior photographed above as above as "Panther".
It seems far closer to “Anti-Panther”…unless I am confused on the meaning of the term.
Okay, I'm going to put my foot i my mouth
I owned a bar for a few years and bartended almost every night. I’m in my 40’s and I had 20-something girls hitting on me every-once-in-a-while…if I weren’t married I’d have been all over that every chance I got. Why wouldn’t I? I’m an adult, she’s an adult…what’s wrong with that picture? Creep-o-meter? Not when it’s mutual. The creep-o-meter kicks in when its an old guy is hitting on a young girl when she obviously has no interest.
Different people have different likes and dislikes. If some 23 year-old has a thing for older (old?) guys, I’m doing my part to make her happy. So, I don’t have anything wrong with the apparent age of the girl (if she’s over 18) and that is why it’s Panther. Billy’s getting his game on. However, as I stated earlier, if she’s under age I have a huge problem with it.
I agree with the Rev too though. A person in his position has certain job responsibilities that comes with his paycheck. This looks so unprofessional for FSN and the Angels. If he were at a game, dressed in “street clothes” doing what he’s doing, no worries. On the job? He fucked up.
I was uncool before uncool was cool.
She could if she were with her daddy
There’s an interesting law here in Wisconsin where a minor can drink in a bar if they’re with a parent, legal guardian, or of-age spouse. We frequently had parents in our bar spending “quality time” drinking with their high school kids.
That spiked my creep-o-meter.
I was uncool before uncool was cool.
Those were the "cool parents" right?
all I can think of is Mean Girls.
I have nothing important to say.
Not to say he doesn't deserve whatever discipline he gets,...
…but it would be sad if one of the few competent people at talent-thin Fox Sports had to go. (How did K-Cal 9 get a near-monopoly on talent?) Suggestion to Fox: bring back Allen Massengale.
I don't understand the problem...
is he married? I could see how that could affect his personal life, but why would we care what two consenting adults do with their free time?
Unless someone comes forward and says she is underage I really don’t see the scandal here.
I also don’t have a problem that Sethy posted it cuz its kinda funny and unfortunately relevent as a part of our new TMZ world.
D.R. you got me by a couple of hours.
Perhaps this as an alternate take:
Scene: 2 young ladies on a teeter-totter in Kansas:
Girl 1: “I’m goig steady…and I french kiss”
Girl 2: “So? Everybody does that.”
Gril 1: “Yeah, but Daddy says I’m the best at it.”

Interesting, but there's more...
I’m not sure what time these pictures were taken, but he was rubbing up against
some other chick right before the game got underway. It was probably right around 6:00.
The girl I saw him with was SMOKING hot, tall, long brown hair, with huge fake tits
popping out. She looked older than this girl, but she was still way young for him. Probably 22 or so. I never saw them kissing, but they were definitely hugging and pretty close.
Just out of curiosity, is Billy Mac married? Does anyone know?
I've got nothing.
His Wikipedia page says ...
Bill MacDonald has three sons, and resides in Newport Beach.
No mention of a wife or domestic friend.

I think that is more along the lines of being sarcastic instead of approving a creepy behavior.
People who laugh about it see it as cute since its like a 76 year old dude trying to hook up with someone who clearly he has no business fooling around with.
Its a funny thread – hopefuly it doesn’t get canned for self-censorship purposes.
Billy Mac does the pregame and postgame show – during the actual game, he is free to feel up anyone he wants.
it's opening day foe billy mac also...
i kind of get the feeling that the stadium for billy mac is like one big episode of three’s company for him. he’s got one chick on field level, one on the club level, a couple in right field.
Mr Furley or Stanley and Helen Roper?
I am actually a fan of Mr. Furley myself, but also liked Norman Fell when he’d turn and smile at the camera.

This is funny shit
About a year ago, I’m wearing an Angel hat in a bar, and I meet this girl who starts talking Halos with me. Her knowledge is limited, but she’s cute, so I refrain from correcting her when she asks me if Shields is starting tomorrow.
Anyway, she asks me if I am familiar with Angel “announcer” as she put it, Bill McDonald. Again, I avoid correcting her mistake and acknowledge that I do in fact know of him. She then proceeds to tell me that she knows him, and that he sent her a picture of himself to her cell. She shows me the pic, and let’s just say it was a photo of “little Bill” in what I can only hope, for the sake of Lil Pigtails there, is an unexcited state.
Now I can neither confirm or deny the truth behind her story, but needless to say, I have not been able to look at him the same way since.
Apologies in advance.

This thread
and those pics are comedy. Helped the day go by so much faster…
Outfielders For Sale! This weeks special...GMJ - see Tony for details!
Cahill vs. Moseley
Tonight’s matchup features highly touted Trevor Cahill. Baseball America ranks him as the 11th best prospect. He features a power sinker and his velocity tops out around 94 mph. That power sinker is reflected by the fact that he has given up just 8 HRs in 238.2 minor league innings while good velocity has resulted in an impressive strikeout ratio of 10 per 9 innings.
Moseley has been at best a spot starter for the Angels. Ulnar nerve surgery in October 2007 led to diminished velocity in 2008, as his average fastball fell from 90.3 mph to 88.8 mph. The Soth probably didn’t like the fact that he never pitched deep into games. In 10 starts he managed to pitch 6 innings only once. Mose hasn’t had much career success against the A’s. In 27.1 innings he has compiled an ERA of 7.57, For Mose to succeed tonight he is going to need his two-seam fastball to be sharp. When it’s working, it tops out at 92 mph, has great late movement, and catches the inside corner to LHB for a strike.
So why did I post this here? Because four swigs of gin wasn’t enough to offset the disturbing thread above about a certain something of a certain someone.

Billy Mac's response is classic
“Yes, we’re dating. Yes, she looks 12, but she’s 23. I’m not doing anything illegal. The Angels have no problem with it.”
So in other words, he likes chicks are 12, but the “MAN” won’t let him date 12 year olds, so he’s gotta find chicks who just look 12. Dude, you aren’t helping yourself here.
Yeah, I kinda thought "Oh, great comment there, Billy" when I read that.
Funny that this all started with an HH post, though.
Whatever dude.

Hrrrm.
Bill prefers his companions to look, dress and act like a 12 year old. Creepy.
And Miss Pigtails accepts the role to look, dress and act like a 12 year old to snag a 50 year old. Double creepy.
The Angels are fine with a 50 year old media face of their organization prowling the stadium during game times and snogging publicly with a girl who might pass to the fans as a 12 year old. Not creepy. Wrong.
Isn’t that why they have those closets in Thunder Mountain? Hasn’t Bill met Lackey?
She's 23
according to the link that mayhem provided.
(throws life preserver) … that’s for everyone that went overboard.
Maybe some advice to Billy Mac is to go into the bathroom stall for this sort of display. /sarcasm.

Nope, sorry
When the one party is credibly young enough to be the daughter/son of the other party, its creepy.
And if she’s 23, she seriously needs a makeover. The Lolita Look is sooo 1950s.

This is getting serious
Quoted from insidesocal.com:
“For the record, Bill Macdonald said he was told by an Angels rep that he’d been captured on a fan site and listed as a “panther” — the male version of the “cougar.” (linked here). The Angels were OK with it, as long as he was. He knows it goes with the “media celebrity” territory, like it or not. Just too bad the young lady has to be dragged into whatever preceived problem is created here. Or isn’t."
I was uncool before uncool was cool.
Clearly they have not read the legend of the panther over in the Angels Front Office
Play Wood already. Willits sucks.

Panther may go mainstream
and when it does we’ll all be laughing because we know the true meaning behind it.
I was uncool before uncool was cool.
Why all the insane jumping to conclusions in this thread?
You guys go to the same stadium I do, right? The same one where every single member of the Angels’ strike force looks EXACTLY like that girl? We all know that they’re over 18, so I’m not sure where the OMG SHE MUST BE 14 crap came from.
She’s 23. Old enough to know better and old enough to make stupid decisions for herself.
He’s 50. Is it a little creepy? Yeah. Is anyone legitimately exploited or hurt by it? No. And honestly, I can’t really say because I’m actually only 23 myself, but are there really that many 40-50 year old males who DON’T enjoy the sight of an extremely hot 20-something female strolling around the stadium? Do you not find yourself attracted to any 20-something celebrities in T.V. and movies? Must your taste in women necessarily mature 1 year for every year that you yourself mature, well into your 70s and 80s? So long as his physical attraction/development is not arrested in the age range of pedophilia, who can possibly care if a 50 year old actually managed to do what probably more than half of 50 year olds have at some point fantasized about?

I am 31 and I love 23 year olds.
When I’m 41, I’ll love 23 year olds.
And guess what, when I’m 51, I’ll still love 23 year olds!
I have nothing important to say.
Well
31/2 = 15.5 + 7 = 22.5, so TECHNICALLY, you’re actually still in the clear, anyway.
Good work.
Then again, 23/2 = 11.5 + 7 = 18.5. And I’ll tell you right now, I’d be more than a little creeped out if I found myself dating some girl just finishing high school. And I’m sure my math skillz in the matter would do anything to ease down her father’s eyebrow when his gaze at me pierces through my soul.

If we find you dating ANY female before your mid- to late-thirties, this site — along with your family — will be very happy for you!
Also, seeing these photos and reading the comments, I can just hear that bored, lifeless chick on the phone:
"Yes, they’re dating. Yes, his wiener looks 12, but it’s 50 — and really tan. She’s not doing anything illegal, Mom…"

Hey, I find it as funny and as 'yikes' as the next dude
but then I got about half way down and all of a sudden there were comments from some fringe-lunatic about how this is a hallmark of the downfall of western civilization and such, and as I read it I just sorta… 
I mean, seriously dudes. America isn’t falling apart because a 50 year old in suit got his groove on with a pigtailed lit major as Cal State Fullerton or whatever.
by Caseys Kiss of Death on Apr 8, 2009 3:02 PM PDT up reply actions
Technically, all we would be realizing with 50 year-old men chasing teenaged girls
would be a return to the morality of the 1700/1800’s, i.e. “The Good Ol’ Days”. Rural women often wed at 14. And 16 year-old girls were considered high-yield targets by the gentry (certainly true in Europe).
So, in a sense, neither America nor western civilization would be falling apart. Instead, they would be more a case of falling INTO the true moral state of those yesteryears. The folks that abhor a moral code of conduct that actually reflects those times are, ironically, yearning for a return to those times to correct that conduct!
So says Stirrups
as he returns home to his 14 year old wife!

by Caseys Kiss of Death on Apr 8, 2009 4:46 PM PDT up reply actions
Close! She's almost 55 (still looks 40). I'm only 52. I went the other direction!!
(Side story, barely related to current topic: she loves history and owns this rare book that is a collection of journals and diaries from prairie women of the 1800’s. When a woman in one of those wagon trains went into labor, the wagon master was NOT about to stop the whole precession. It was not unheard of for the woman to be expected to dismount her particular wagon, find a relatively private bush, deliver her child, then get up and run back and jump aboard her wagon! And these women might have been only 16 years old. There was a time when young girls could kick the likes of our Bill right in the teeth without so much as a how-do-you-do.)
I like the "(still looks 40)" part
we now know to watch our language around these parts, because Stirrups’ wife is watching closely.

I doubt anything happens to him, but his appearances maybe ‘scaled down’ until all this blows over.

Hopefully Lindsay can have such a Billy Mac transgression of her own
