According to TMZ, Mike Napoli is being sued by a child hood friend for damages relating to Napoli not going to an autograph signing. According to the report, Willie McCoy claims he blew more than $4k on the event — for things like promotional material, baseballs for Napoli to sign, etc. …. and now he wants Napoli to foot the bill. Napoli bailed 2 weeks before the event, and McCoy claims he was financially crippled because of that decision. Friends and business just don’t mix. Oops.
