Timeline

1973

Dmitri Dell Young (born October 11, 1973) is an American former professional baseball player.

1991

The St. Louis Cardinals selected Young in the first round, with the fourth overall selection, in the 1991 Major League Baseball draft.

Early in his professional career, Young's weight raised concerns.

1994

In 1994, a Cardinals farm director told the Los Angeles Times that the organization worried he might "eat himself out a major league career."

At the time, he weighed 240 lb.

1995

In 1995, Young punched a fan who had been heckling him and calling him racial slurs, which earned him a suspension from the Texas League.

1996

He played all or parts of 13 seasons in Major League Baseball (MLB) as a left fielder, first baseman, and designated hitter, for the St. Louis Cardinals, Cincinnati Reds, Detroit Tigers, and Washington Nationals from 1996 through 2008.

He is a two-time All-Star and winner of the National League Comeback Player of the Year Award.

His younger brother, Delmon Young, also played in MLB.

Young attended Rio Mesa High School in Oxnard, California.

He never hit below a .400 batting average while playing in high school and earned USA Today High School All-American honors in his senior season.

Young initially committed to play college baseball for the Miami Hurricanes.

Finally, in 1996, he had a big year at Triple-A Louisville, batting .333, being chosen as a Triple-A All-Star first baseman and the St. Louis Cardinals Minor League Player of the Year.

He was called up at the end of the season and played a few games with St. Louis in the majors.

1997

Young's first full season in Major League Baseball was with the Cardinals in 1997, in which he hit .258.

After the season, he was traded to the Cincinnati Reds for Jeff Brantley.

Eight days later, he was selected by the Tampa Bay Devil Rays in the expansion draft, then traded back to the Reds for Mike Kelly.

1998

While with the Reds, Young hit over .300 in each year (finishing second in doubles in 1998, and hitting 21 home runs in 2001).

During those years, he played primarily the outfield and at first base.

2001

After the 2001 season, he was traded by the Reds to the Detroit Tigers for Luis Pineda and Juan Encarnación.

2003

In 2003, he hit .297, with 29 home runs, and 7 triples (10th in the league).

He was the Tigers' lone representative at the 2003 MLB All-Star Game, although he did not make an appearance on the field or in the batter's box.

On May 6, 2003, Young went 5–5 against the Baltimore Orioles hitting two homers and two triples, and a single.

When he came up to bat in the ninth, he was a double short of the cycle.

Instead, he hit his second triple of the night off Buddy Groom.

"It crossed my mind, but since the game was close, my individual accomplishment took a back seat," Young said.

"The run is the important thing."

2005

On April 4, 2005, Young joined George Bell and Tuffy Rhodes as the only players to hit three home runs on Opening Day in Detroit's 11–2 win over the visiting Kansas City Royals.

Young, along with Tigers first baseman Miguel Cabrera, former Royals Designated Hitter Kendrys Morales, and Mariners third baseman Kyle Seager, are the only players to hit three home runs in one game at Comerica Park—one of the more difficult home run stadiums.

He was also known as "Da Meat Hook" and "The Big D" to Tigers fans.

Young appeared at World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE)'s Survivor Series 2005 in an interview segment with Edge and Lita.

Edge made fun of the Detroit Tigers, saying that they sucked, while Young cracked jokes at Edge concerning his failures on capturing a World Title.

2006

In 2006, Young went through a divorce, and was treated for alcohol and substance abuse and depression.

He pleaded guilty to assault after an argument in Birmingham, Michigan.

On May 17, 2006, the Detroit Free Press reported that Young faced a misdemeanor domestic violence charge.

Young subsequently voluntarily spent 30 days in a rehabilitation facility, Promises Malibu, and three weeks working out with minor league teams.

On June 13, 2006, Young failed to appear for a pretrial hearing on this matter and a bench warrant was issued for his arrest.

Ten days later, he pleaded no contest to the domestic violence charges.

On June 30, 2006, Young revealed that he had been battling several illnesses that resulted in him self-medicating with alcohol, which limited his physical fitness and kept him from appearing in all but a small fraction of Tigers games during the season.

He made a statement to the press in which he asserted that he had been making progress overcoming it with the help of Alcoholics Anonymous, whose logo has been tattooed on his hand as a gesture of thanks.
