| Man throws like girl |
| NEW PLAINS, N.J.--In a low point in his life, Robert Walton, 32, reportedly threw like a girl early Sunday morning causing friends and relatives to laugh and mock him. Walton was playing catch with his son Sunday morning when incident happened. It was his sons first time playing catch. Family and friends were over because of the baptsim of his new daughter. "When Jonny kept egging me to play catch, I knew I was fucked," Walton said. "This was a secret I kept for a long time and I didn't think anyone would find out. Boy did the shit ever hit the fan." "I kind of feel somewhat responsible," Walton's wife, Sharon said. "I told him to just play catch before Jonny started crying. I never knew." |

| Robert Walton tries to stall time before having to actually throw the ball by trying to "teach" his son how to throw. |
| According to those in attendance Walton seemed nervous before playing catch and tried to stall some time by teaching his son how to throw. It did not work long as Jonny felt ready and wanted to play an unnamed friend said. He then cocked his hand back with his elbow going over his shoulder. "It was like he was throwing with the wrong hand," long time friend Jim Meritz said. "I thought he was joking around at first. I simply never knew. I think we were all shocked at first." |
| Walton's cousin Mike Reyonlds said he "lost a lot of respect for Robert." "I knew there was a reason why he would never play ball with us or anything. It's because he's a girl. I can't believe he's a member of this family. I tried to get others to vote him out, but they wouldn't." "We still love him," mother Jackie Walton said. |
| Friends have a laugh at Walton's "girlie throw." |
| Walton said he was fully aware of the vote. "If they wanted me out, I could completely understand," he said. "The past two days have been the worst day of my life." Family psychologist Dr. Eva Ricko said family secrets often come out in this manner. "It is natural for this to happen. Soon others will forgot and it will be good for the family," she said. |
| "I'm never going to forget this," Mertiz said. "I hope that he does get some help though. I would like to see him actually throw. In the meantime, his new nickname is girlie-arm." |
