Tommy Hanson was once destined for greatness in major league baseball. He made his debut with the Braves in 2009, with a 2.89 ERA in 21 starts. He had three strong seasons, but then he started to decline. In 2012 he had a 4.48 ERA and suffered a back strain, putting him on the disabled list, Sports Illustrated reported. He was traded to the Los Angeles Angels. In 2013 he had his worst season of his career, with a 5.42 ERA in 13 starts. He was released from the team. He tried again with the Rangers and White Sox after that, before finally pitching for the San Francisco Giants in the minor leagues. He was just removed from the 40-man roster last week, Sports Illustrated reported. (Getty)
