River Phoenix.

Len Bias.

Terrence J. Roker.

What do these young men have in common? They’re all fuckin dead.

No I’m just messing with you, Terrence The Yankee Ball Boy isn’t dead. But he is caught up in life in the fast lane and the fame has gone to his head. Less than 1 week ago today, Terrence made a diving stab on a line drive foul down the third baseline. And just a few hours later, on the late edition of SportsCenter, he was #7 on the Top 10. Welp, that’s all young Terrence needed. Dude rolls out a facebook fan page for the masses who need more T-Roke. He announces his appearances on ABC and the YES Network. He gives you his twitter name for those people who simply cannot be without Terrence The Yankee Ball Boy. And for his coup de gras yesterday he announces he’s rolling out T-shirts for everyone who just needs T-Roke gear.

I give it another week before my man is face down in a drained pool somewhere. Some people just can’t handle the fame.

PS – This is one of my favorite facebook interactions ever:
