J. C. Romero is one of the most popular and richest Baseball Player who was born on June 4, 1976 in Río Piedras, Río Piedras, United States. Juan Carlos “J.C.” Romero (born June 4, 1976) is a Puerto Rican former professional baseball pitcher. He played in Major League Baseball (MLB) for the Minnesota Twins, Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim, Boston Red Sox, Baltimore Orioles, Philadelphia Phillies, Colorado Rockies, and the St. Louis Cardinals.
On October 6, 2006, the Angels declined his contract option for 2007, making him a free agent. On December 15, he signed a 1-year deal with the Boston Red Sox. However, on June 9, 2007, he was designated for assignment, and then released on June 19, 2007.
On June 23, 2007, Romero signed with the Philadelphia Phillies. During that season, Romero’s ERA fell to just over 1.00. Romero improved a weak Phillies’ bullpen plagued by inconsistency and injuries, which posted a 3.17 ERA in the final stretch of September. He also played a crucial role in the Phillies’ triumph on the last day of the season, when in a 6–1 victory over the Nationals that capped the team’s comeback against the New York Mets, Romero pitched one inning and struck out two. Romero was named the Phillies’ top reliever for the post-season. On November 10, 2007, Romero agreed to a multi- year deal to remain with the Phillies.
Prior to the 2009 season, Romero was suspended 50 games for testing positive for androstenedione, a performance-enhancing drug banned by MLB. Romero said that he bought a supplement named 6-OXO Extreme from a GNC store at the Cherry Hill Mall in Cherry Hill, New Jersey and that he was cleared to take it by two nutritionists. Romero actually tested positive on August 26, 2008, but he took the case to arbitration, allowing him to pitch in the postseason and World Series; after he stopped taking the supplement, he tested negative before the playoffs. Due to the suspension, Romero lost $1.25 million, so he is suing the makers of the supplement, Ergopharm Inc., along with The Vitamin Shoppe and GNC for his lost salary and punitive damages. Following the 50-game suspension, Romero returned to the Phillies’ AAA affiliate, the Lehigh Valley IronPigs in May 2009. Romero returned to the Phillies on June 3, 2009.
Romero has appeared in three editions of the World Baseball Classic (2006, 2009, 2013) and is expected to play for Team Puerto Rico in the 2017 World Baseball Classic, despite his retirement.
