Former Houston Astros pitcher Brandon Backe and two others pleaded no contest to misdemeanor disorderly conduct charges, stemming from a 2008 post-wedding reception ruckus with police at an upscale
bar, according to court documents.
Backe, 32, Christopher Cornwell, 28, and Calvin Silva, 22, appealed their misdemeanor charges of interfering with police from Galveston Municipal Court. The cases ended Wednesday with pleas in
Galveston County Court No. 1, according to court records.
