BOSTON -- Eight more men have come forward to say they were abused by a now-deceased former Boston Red Sox clubhouse manager, a lawyer representing them said Monday.
The men, including two former Baltimore Orioles bat boys, are in addition to two former Red Sox clubhouse attendants who stepped forward in December to say they were abused by Donald Fitzpatrick, who died in 2005.
Lawyer Mitchell Garabedian tells The Boston Globe the statute of limitations for legal action has expired, so the men are seeking $5 million settlements from the Red Sox or Orioles.
Fitzpatrick pleaded guilty in Florida in 2002 to attempted sexual battery on a child under 12. The Red Sox settled a lawsuit with seven Florida men claiming Fitzpatrick molested them. He resigned from the Red Sox in 1991.

Love how these guys coem out now after the guy died.
Not saying the guy didn't do it since he was already convicted many years ago but come on.
Love how the statue of limitations has passed but they still want $5 million. Can I attach my name to this list?
