started the yips in 2000, was eventually benched or played DH the rest of that season, moved to LF in 2001, released after the season, signed by Kansas City, barely played and played LF when he did, was released after the season and never played again. So he went from the starting second baseman and 4x all-star player in 2000 to out of the majors by 2002. Only other thing I can think of that was similar was Rick Ankiel pitching.

Knoblauch played until he was 34 and had a 12 season MLB career. Let's not act like it was some kind of sob story. Plus he was a juicer.
