Ky. Sen. Bunning, ex-Tiger, snubbed for autos vote

Ky. Sen. Bunning, ex-Tigers pitching great, gets booted from Detroit-area fair for autos vote

December 12, 2008: 03:45 PM ET

NEW YORK (Associated Press) - Jim Bunning was the toast of Detroit when he threw a no-hitter for the Tigers in 1958.

Now, after opposing a federal bailout for the auto industry, the Republican senator from Kentucky can't even get a gig signing autographs at a suburban sports-card show.

Bunning was to appear Sunday at the Gibraltar Trade Center in Taylor. Fans would have paid $35 for Bunning to sign a baseball and $55 to sign a bat.

But Bunning was kicked off the schedule after he helped derail an auto-industry loan package in the Senate Thursday night.

Owner Jim Koester says he can't support someone who voted against Michigan's economic well-being.

Messages seeking comment were left for Bunning's office.

Bunning is a Hall of Famer who pitched in Detroit from 1955 to 1963.

BO has handled this poorly.....I don't think he is involved in a dishonest or illegal way but he has brought the questions raised upon himself by the statements and actions of himself and his aides.....It is not an auspicious start but probably to be expected from one as inexperienced as he is....nevertheless, he will not go down over this....it will blow over.
