Remembering Dino Restelli: The Pirates brightest flash in the pan
Over the 130-year history of the Pittsburgh Pirates, there have been many players who have set the world on fire for a brief time, only to come crashing down just as fast. In just the past 20 years alone, players such as Zach Duke, Warren Morris and Oliver Perez flashed across the sky like beautiful comets but were never be able to maintain that success.
In earlier years, guys like Mike Dunne, who Pittsburgh shipped off to Seattle less than two years after finishing second in the National League Rookie of the Year voting, fitted into the same boat. But of all the stars who could not keep their shine, one man stands above the rest.
