Cory Fulton Lidle (March 22 1972 – October 11 2006) was an American right-handed pitcher in Major League Baseball who played for seven teams, lastly the New York Yankees. He died during an accident in which a Cirrus SR20 airplane registered in his name crashed into a residential New York City building [1].
Biography
Born in Hollywood, California, Lidle was a descendant of Robert Fulton [2]. He attended South Hills High School in West Covina, California, graduating in 1990. During this time, he was a teammate of Jason Giambi. Lidle married Melanie Varela on January 7 1997; the pair had one son, Christopher.
Plane crash report
According to the Associated Press and New York Yankees manager Joe Torre, the plane that crashed in New York City's Upper East Side on October 11 2006 was registered to Lidle.[1]There is speculation that he was on board the plane. According to CNN, his passport was found on the street below the Belaire building which was involved in the crash.
Controversies
After being traded by the Phillies in July 2006 at the trade deadline Lidle called out his former team. "On the days I'm pitching, it's almost a coin flip as to know if the guys behind me are going to be there to play 100 percent." He noted he was joining a Yankees team that expects to win all the time.
"That's why I'm most excited about it," Lidle said. "Sometimes I felt I got caught up kind of going into the clubhouse nonchalantly sometimes, because all of the other guys in the clubhouse didn't go there with one goal in mind."
In response former teammate Arthur Rhodes said, "He is a scab. When he started, he would go 5 1/3 innings and (the bullpen) would have to win the game for him. The only thing Cory Lidle wants to do is fly around in his airplane and gamble. He doesn't have a work ethic. After every start, he didn't run or lift weights. He would sit in the clubhouse and eat ice cream. ... He shouldn't say that, he shouldn't say anything like that because he is a scab. He crossed the line when guys like me, Flash (Tom Gordon) and (Mike) Lieberthal were playing. He is a replacement player."
