About Jeromy Burnitz

Jeromy Neal Burnitz is an American former professional baseball player. Burnitz was a right fielder in Major League Baseball who played with the New York Mets, Cleveland Indians (1995–96), Milwaukee Brewers (1996–2001), Los Angeles Dodgers (2003), Colorado Rockies (2004), Chicago Cubs (2005), and Pittsburgh Pirates (2006). Burnitz was drafted in the first round of the 1990 draft by the New York Mets with the 17th overall selection. Burnitz was a fan favorite in Milwaukee, providing many of the only thrills during an otherwise low point in Brewers' history, their first years in the National League. In 1999 he started the game, replacing the injured Tony Gwynn and became the first Brewer since Paul Molitor to start in the All-Star Game.
