Cramer hired this guy to write investment advice columns on TheStreet.com

There’s a good lesson.

1) Don’t take financial advice from a baseball player.

2) Don’t take financial advice from someone who lives in an $18.5 million house... unless, of course, he’s definitely up around or in the self-made billionaire league.

I remember this guy as a player but I didn't know he was in the financial business.

One thing I've never never understood about some athletes is the way they go through money. They should understand that they only have a few years to make the money they do. Most Pro athletes retire in their 30's. And those are the sucessful ones. They aren't going to make a lot of money after that. If this guy made over 30 million in his career, just conservative investments would have him set for life with a very good standard of living. This guy must have got greedy.

this guy was living way beyond his means

btw...media hates him because he was once accused of some racist slur....same old crap

sports writers are the biggest PC buttkissers on the planet

a glossy magazine he launched in 2008 designed to provide financial advice and opportunities to professional athletes.

Here's some of the advice that was probably left out of the magazine: "Don't do this!"
