Original Story Development Challenge: Day 1 - A Main Protagonist's bio

The name's Joseph Cook and I can guarantee that even though I'm a first draft pick for the New York Yankees, you've never heard of me. How can I be so sure, you ask? Because I died the night before spring training was supposed to start. It was tragic, really. Went out with some of my teammates for a drink to celebrate -- wearing my uniform, of course -- and met my doom in the form of a roguish dandy.
( Joseph Nathaniel Cook )
