Chris Iannetta
Most baseball players wait until they are playing in Major League Baseball before they give it their all, but not Chris Iannetta. While playing college baseball for the North Carolina Tar Heels and the University of North Carolina, he was already making waves with his catching, which led to his being handed his debut for the Colorado Rookies in 2006.
Iannetta also played for the Arizona Diamondbacks, the New York Yankees, and the Seattle Mariners. Moreover, it was at the height of his career that he was selected for Team USA at the 2009 World Baseball Classic. His power at the plate and defense behind it will be sorely missed.
