Luke Allen

Career: Played for the Dodgers in 2002 and the Rockies in 2003.

Did you know? Suffered a season-ending injury on July 25, 2000 while playing third base for the San Antonio Missions, the Dodgers' Double-A affiliate, when a bad-hop ground ball struck him in the face, fracturing the bones around his eye, dislodging his eyeball from the socket.

Post-game: Worked as an instructor at Diamond Sports Academy, a girl's softball training facility in Covington, Georgia ... died on April 26, 2022 at age 43.
