SACRAMENTO, Calif. -- Hall of Famer Orlando Cepeda was arrested after a California Highway Patrol officer pulled him over for speeding and discovered drugs in the car.

The former San Francisco Giants star was stopped about 3 p.m. Tuesday after his 2001 Lexus was clocked going 83 mph in a 65 mph zone on Interstate 80 in Cordelia, about 40 miles northeast of San Francisco, the CHP said.

While approaching the vehicle, "the officer smelled the odor of marijuana coming from the car," CHP Sgt. Wulf Corrington said Wednesday.

2. This is all too much for me.

I hadn't heard the name Orlando Cepeda in twenty years and this is the third time this week his name has come up,all unrelated.

Kinda spooky :scared:

3. He did time for marijuana smuggling before

It nearly kept him out of the HoF.

This is very regrettable to a kid who grew up following the Giants of that era.

4. I saw the Baby Bull play many times when he was with the Giants, Cards, and Braves

He was called the Baby Bull because his dad was called the Bull. He came to the Braves in a trade for Joe Torre.
