I have 23 cards of Milton Bradley. This one is from 2000 Bowman.
Playing career: Outfielder Milton Bradley played in twelve
seasons and over 1,000 major league games for eight different teams. A lifetime
.271 hitter with 125 career home runs, his best season was 2008, when he made
the All-Star team with Texas, hitting .321 with 22 HR and 77 RBI, leading the
AL with a .436 OBP, .999 OPS and 162 OPS+.
Where he is now: In 2013 Bradley was sentenced to 2-1/2
years in jail for multiple instances of domestic abuse. He is currently free
while the case is on appeal.
My memories: I remember him as a notorious hothead, such a
strange juxtaposition for a name that is so synonymous with innocent childhood
fun.
Google Autocomplete results: He is eighth when you type
Milton , between Milton Keynes, a town in England, and Milton Bradley Game
Designer, the board game pioneer.
Coming up next: The next profile will be Phil Bradley.
People gave Barry Bonds and Albert Belle crap for their attitudes, but Milton Bradley took it to new levels of douchebaggery. It's no surprise he played with 8 different MLB teams in his 12 year career. No one could stand him for more than a couple seasons.
