Who fucked up his or her career.

Matt Bush is one of my favorites. Why parents don't hire babysitters for their soon to be rich children baffles my mind.

A few weeks after the Padres drafted him in 2004, Bush was arrested on suspicion of felony assault, misdemeanor trespass, disorderly conduct, and underage drinking, after he allegedly fought with security trying to escort him out of a bar.

In early 2009, Bush was allegedly involved in a drunken assault at a San Diego high school, which was caught on camera. According to witnesses, a drunken Bush beat up a high school lacrosse player with a golf club while screaming, "I'm Matt fucking Bush!," which was recorded on videotape. This led the Padres to designate Bush for assignment following the team's signing of Cliff Floyd and then trade him to the Blue Jays. Only a month later, he assaulted and berated a woman at a party in Florida, and was released by the Blue Jays for violating a "zero tolerance" agreement.

On March 22, 2012, Bush was arrested and charged with two counts of DUI with property damage, one count of DUI with serious bodily injury, one count of leaving the scene of an accident with an injury, one count of driving with a suspended license, and 2 counts of leaving the scene of an accident with damage to property. In the incident, Bush hit 72-year-old motorcyclist Tony Tufano on the Tamiami Trail (U.S. Route 41) northbound in Port Charlotte, Florida, running over his head as he fled the scene in a Dodge Durango belonging to teammate Brandon Guyer. According to a witness, Tufano survived the incident because he was wearing a helmet.[37] Bush was arrested in North Port, three miles down the road from the accident. He was on the road after getting kicked out of a nearby strip club for trying to climb on the stage. When he was arrested, Bush had a blood alcohol content of .18, more than double the legal limit in Florida.

On December 18, 2015, the Texas Rangers signed Bush to a minor league contract, two months after his release from prison.[14][15] He was signed after tryouts at a Golden Corral parking lot in Jacksonville, Florida (the only place Bush could work out; due to his post-release restrictions he could only travel to and from his Golden Corral job).

Not entirely on him - girls mom pimping her out and taking the cash didn’t help. He thought there was an agreement in place.

And he is far from the first athlete to have an underaged girlfriend - including many from right here in the USA. There are some cultural differences of course where it’s not uncommon for younger girls to marry / have relationships with older men in poorer countries - just like happened here in the good ole USA a century ago in poorer parts.

But yea - common damn sense man - lost a huge payday likely.

Who was the pitcher from Pittsburgh who got into trouble over this a few years before - his girl was younger too - like 12. Clearly the warning signs were there for Wander.
