Former Cubs pitcher Geremi Gonzalez was struck and killed by lighting yesterday in Venezuela.
Gonzalez, who was known as Jeremi when he played in Chicago, was great for the Cubs in his rookie season of 1997, when he won 11 games. The next year, he developed arm problems and was never the same.
He later returned to the big leagues, and pitched for Tampa Bay, Boston, Milwaukee, and the New York Mets.
Trivia question: Who was pitching for the Tampa Bay Devil Rays when Sammy Sosa broke his bat and cork spilled all over the infield at Wrigley Field in 2003? That's right...Geremi Gonzalez.
