Elijah Dukes, many Washington fans knows him for his ability to hit home runs, and many also knows him for his disturbed behaviour out of the plate.
Dukes is considered among the top 10 prospects of the Nationals and has being catalogued by professionals as one of the promises in professional baseball, though, his bipolar mentality is what has kept him out of good deals, with only Washington showing an interest on him when he left the the Tampa Bay Rays.
Since 98’ he’s being arrested on 6 opportunities; last year he called his ex-wife and threatened her life and the life of her kids whom are his own too, at the same time, he was accused by a 17 year old girl who was living at his step-grandmother’s house for impregnating her, but police officers in charge of the case ended up determining that the sex was consensual.
Playing in high school, he got the chance to choose between baseball and football, and due to his temper, it would surely have favored him more to go for the lattest, but he probably knew that his raw talent would be much more appreciated in baseball fields.
Who knows what is left for him, he’ll surely would need to stay away from trouble and exploit his highs if he wants to get better contracts and make a career in the MLB.
When Elijah Dukes is hitting home runs to the outer space nobody is thinking about his turbulent private life, all people is thinking is about when that ball is going to get back to the ground.
