Copied from somewhere else: Castro was a star pitcher at Belen College and the University of Havana in Cuba and attracted the attention of several ML scouts with his wicked curveball. He turned down a $5,000 bonus from the Giants to pursue his law degree, and after graduating became a leader of Cuba's revolutionary movement. Although he never actually pitched in winter ball as is often claimed, he did once pitch to Don Hoak briefly during a game before being ejected from the ballpark.
Maurice Clarett. I unfornately have several cards of him in a Ohio State uniform. I find this one though most interesting considering he never played a NFL game or down for that matter. A true criminal and total lost of talent.
<< <i>Julio Machado was a fine young reliever for the Mets and the Brewers, known for his hard fastball and nasty slider. His major league career ended after he was arrested in 1991 in his native Venezuela; he had fatally shot a young woman during an argument after a traffic accident. Machado continued to pitch in Venezuela from 1992 to 1996 while fighting the charge, but was finally convicted and served nearly four years in prison. He attempted to restart his career after being released in 2000, but was never able to get a contract with any major league team. >>

I know some will disagree, but Darryl Henley's crime are pretty tough to top, granted, no actual deaths were involved in his crimes, e.g. O.J. That said, check this out via Wikipedia ...
Darryl Keith Henley (born October 30, 1966) was a cornerback in the National Football League. He was drafted by the Los Angeles Rams in the 1989 draft from UCLA. In his career he played in 76 games, he amassed 12 interceptions. Currently, Henley is serving a 41 year sentence for trafficking cocaine and for attempting to murder the judge from his cocaine trial by hiring contract killers.
FORTY-ONE YEARS. Wow. And a hitman ... on a judge. Even more wow.

Not sure Pedro Guerrero was a criminal!? He was hanging out with OJ Simpson at one point in the 1990's or early 2000's but don't think that makes him a criminal. Plus, at one point during his career he was tied for the most home runs in June. I wish I had a game used bat from that amazing "record."
He robbed Philly of a championship because he plays no DEFENSE, takes 40 shots a game and is the most selfish all about me and my points playa that ever played. THANKS A LOT A I . chaz
<< <i> In 1958, Topps pulled his card - #145 - and never replaced it.
He pled guilty to indescent exposure to minors and was reinstated the following year I believe. Thus, present in the 59T set.

Yup. That's the only reason I knew about it. I was researching the 58 set last year and came across that explanation as to why #145 didn't exist. Amazing that MLB would take him back after pleading guilty, especially in the 1950's.

yes
<< <i>I cant believe no one has done Michael Vick yet. >>
I suspect someone has, in fact, done Michael Vick since his incarceration.
Hopefully they violated him "doggy style" too.

Billy Papke first took the Middleweight crown in 1908. Shot and killed his wife, then himself in 1936.
