Yankees pitcher had suicidal thoughts after World Series win: ‘I’m gonna jump’
NY Post
Though he didn’t pitch in the playoffs, Dan Naulty was part of the Yankees’ 1999 World Series team and celebrated with teammates deep into the morning of Oct. 28 after they swept the Braves.
Naulty, who had used steroids for years along with speed and alcohol, was in a limo on the way home at around 7 a.m. when he suddenly had suicidal thoughts. “I told the limousine driver to please stop so I could sit in the front seat with him. I just started talking to him about life and just wanted to know, ‘is there more to life than this?’ ” Naulty told Joan Niesen on an episode of the “Crushed” podcast, which digs into MLB’s steroid era. “We just won the World Series, and the streets aren’t paved gold, and I’m not riding on clouds but I feel just as miserable now as I did before. And so we got to the George Washington Bridge and I told him to stop. You take them home, and I’m gonna jump. I said I’m done.”
