But He Won 15 More Games Than You Or I Did
-
Dead: Jeriome Robertson, at 33, in a motorcycle crash. Who? Doesn't that name sound familiar? Well, if you're a baseball fan, it should; he was a pitcher for the Astros who made a splash with 15 wins in 2003. In 2004, he pitched in eight games for Cleveland and won only one before going back to the minors and getting traded. He never pitched another major league game. By 2007, he was playing in independent leagues and by 2008 he was out of baseball. If that doesn't tell you how fame is fleeting, nothing will.
