John C Odom was called as "Bat Man" or "Bat Guy" or "Bat Boy." But he is forgotten recently. This Baseball player is a slender right hander.
Most of the base ball fans will be left blank when it comes to John C Odom. He was the minor league player who had traded for 10 maple bats. It was a big joke when a rumor spread about an unusual swap jumped off the sports pages, and Odom went from pitcher to punch line and around 6 months after the trade, he was dead.
The medical examiner declared that John c Odom's death in Georgia on Nov. 5 was an accidental overdose of heroin, methamphetamine, the stimulant benzylpiperazine and alcohol, he was just 26 when he died.
Dan Shwam who was the manager of John Odom on the Laredo Broncos of the United League last year said "I guarantee this trade thing really bothered him. That really worried me". "I really believe, knowing his background, that this drove him back to the bottle, that it put him on the road to drugs again."
"It really is sad" "He was a fun-loving guy. I mean, just high energy all the time. I stayed on his couch just because he was on the same team I was on. I asked around a couple guys who I could stay with until I could find a place." said the 2008 NL Cy Young winner and former ‘mate Tim Lincecum expressing his feelings.
"He was always wanting to joke around, always wanting to keep the clubhouse mood light." said the noted infielder Kevin Frandsen.
