Cameron Drew
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Cameron Drew was a late 1980s Houston Astros prospect whose previous knee injuries limited his major league career in baseball to seven games.
Born on February 12, 1964 in Boston, MA, USA, Cameron was drafted by the Houston Astros in the 1st round (12th pick) of the 1985 amateur draft after starring on the University of New Haven basketball team.
Drew collected numerous awards in his brief rise through the minor leagues and was tapped by many scouts at the time to be a superstar. After a seven game stint during a September 1988 callup, Cameron was forced to retire when it was determined that his basketball-damaged knees would never hold up to the rigors of a major league basevall career.
