D'Amico, sometimes nicknamed "Big Daddy" due to his six-foot nine stature, was a starting pitcher who played for the Milwaukee Brewers, New York Mets, Pittsburgh Pirates, and Cleveland Indians of the Major League Baseball (MLB).
[2] On April 12, 2001, D'Amico hit the first triple at Miller Park after Houston's centerfielder Richard Hidalgo crashed into the wall trying to flag down the fly ball to center.
[3] D'Amico was never able to follow his 2000 success as he struggled with injuries for the Brewers in 2001, before ending his career with appearances on the Mets, Pirates, and Cleveland.
He led the National League in losses during the 2003 season with the Pirates and was released by the Indians in June 2004 after posting a 7.63 ERA in 7 starts.
Although a very weak hitter in his major league career, posting a .101 batting average (15-for-148) with 2 home runs and 5 RBI, he was a very good fielding pitcher.
