On a podcast, Paul Lo Duca claimed that Billy Wagner told him that Joe West gave Wagner a bigger strike zone because Wagner let him drive his 1957 Chevy. West sued Lo Duca and the podcast network. The podcast network settled, Lo Duca didn't even answer the complaint, and the judge entered a default verdict against Lo Duca for the amount sought in West's suit--250k for anguish and distress, and 250k for the costs of reputation management. West is retiring this season, and presumably very interested in managing his reputation with the Hall in mind.
