Career Highlights and Awards
Jeromy Neal Burnitz (born April 15, 1969 in Westminster, California) is a former baseball player who was a right fielder in Major League Baseball who played with the New York Mets (1993-94, 2002-03), Cleveland Indians (1995-96), Milwaukee Brewers (1996-2001), Los Angeles Dodgers (2003), Colorado Rockies (2004), Chicago Cubs (2005), and Pittsburgh Pirates (2006). On February 2, 2005, the Cubs signed Burnitz to a one-year contract, the same day Sammy Sosa's trade to the Baltimore Orioles was finalized. The Pirates opted not to renew his contract on November 1, 2006. On March 11, 2007 Burnitz announced his retirment after 14 seasons. He played his collegiate ball at Oklahoma State University and played minor league ball with the Norfolk Tides and the Buffalo Bisons. He batted left-handed and threw right-handed.

In his 14-year career, Burnitz was a .253 hitter with 315 home runs and 981 RBI in 1694 games. He's hit at least 31 home runs from 1998-2004 with a career high 38 in 1998, a year in which he also had 125 RBI, another career mark. He played in the Major League Baseball All-Star Game in 2001.

Burnitz had a good year in 2004 while playing home games at batter-friendly Coors Field. In 150 games, he led the Rockies with 37 home runs, hit a career high .283, and was second on the team with 110 RBI. He continued to hit well at Wrigley Field with a .258 average, 24 homers and 87 RBI in 160 games with the Cubs.

Burnitz is known as a good clubhouse man and a friendly, laid-back guy. During a slump in May 2006, he held an interview in order to apologize for failing to run out a grounder, then joked about the challenges that his team would face during the rest of the season, saying, "I'm Joe High-Paid Free Agent. That, in and of itself, should tell you the big picture that the team's in." [1]
