There was the relief pitcher about five years ago, Daryl Kile in the hotel room...now Taveras.

 

Trying to think of some other examples. Darrell Porter as well, although he was connected to a number of teams.

That was closer to a decade ago. The cards also then lost another guy to DUI and that mighty have been 5 years ago.

A spokeswoman for the Dominican Republic's Attorney General's Office, Tessie Sanchez, said Oscar Taveras was "legally intoxicated when he crashed."

 

Sanchez revealed that a toxicology report showed Taveras' blood-alcohol level was five times the legal limit. Taveras and his girlfriend, 18-year-old Edilia Arvelo, were killed in a car crash on October 26 in his native Dominican Republic. Taveras was 22 years old.

For those who haven't read or don't want to read, his BAC was .287, while the legal limit in the Dominican Republic is .05. If he were drinking beer, he probably had something like 20-22 beers in a 4-5 hour stretch, and then thought it would be a good idea to drive.
