John Cerutti

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

John Joseph Cerutti (April 28, 1960 - October 3, 2004) was an American left-handed pitcher in Major League Baseball, and later a broadcaster for the Toronto Blue Jays.

Born in Albany, New York, Cerutti was selected in the first round of the amateur draft by the Blue Jays in 1981 with the 21st overall pick out of Amherst College. He graduated with a Bachelor's degree in Economics. He played 7 seasons in the major leagues with the Blue Jays (1985-1990) and Detroit Tigers (1991).

On June 7, 1989, Cerutti recorded the first Blue Jays win in SkyDome, their new stadium.

After his playing career, he went into broadcasting and started doing Blue Jays games alongside Brian Williams on CBC before becoming a TV analyst for the team's new flagship station, Rogers Sportsnet.

Cerutti was supposed to broadcast the last game of the 2004 season for the Blue Jays but missed an 11:00 AM meeting. The production staff began to worry and started calling him. After numerous attempts, the police had to be brought in to break open the door of his Toronto hotel room. He was found without any vital signs. His death at age 44 was officially declared to be of natural causes, apparently due to heart arrhythmia.
