Gerónimo Emiliano Berroa (born March 18, 1965 in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic) is a former Major League Baseball player who played for nine teams from 1989 to 2000. Berroa was a Minor League Baseball player who was expected to be a quality hitter in the major league, but he never hit more than 36 home runs in a single season.
Signed by the Toronto Blue Jays as an amateur free agent in 1983, he quickly worked his way through the minor leagues, finally making his major league debut with the Atlanta Braves on April 5, 1989. In his 11 seasons in the major league, he hit 101 home runs, had 692 hits, and 510 strikeouts. Apart from the Braves, Berroa also played for the Cincinnati Reds, Florida Marlins, Oakland Athletics, Baltimore Orioles, Cleveland Indians, Detroit Tigers, Blue Jays, and Los Angeles Dodgers.
On 20 December 2007, Berroa was accused by former major league pitcher Jason Grimsley of using anabolic steroids in a federal agent's affidavit.[1]
