Joba Chamberlain seemingly became a celebrity overnight in Gotham. The Yankees drafted Chamberlain out of Nebraska with the 41st pick in 2006. Roughly 14 months later, on August 7, 2007, Chamberlain was promoted to the Bronx. The flamethrower excelled as a reliever and finished his inaugural season 2-0 with a virtually nonexistent 0.38 ERA. Unfortunately, shoulder and ankle injuries derailed Chamberlain’s path to superstardom and he regressed into a middling journeyman before retiring on October 4, 2017. Nowadays, the 33-year-old Chamberlain is focused on running his recently opened bar in Lincoln, Nebraska.
