Mark Ciardi, pitcher for the Brewers ended up being a film producer. He has quite a list of movie credits, usually sports movies. For those not as old:

 

Ciardi played for the Milwaukee Brewers in 1987. He opened the season on the Milwaukee Brewers roster in which they started the season with 13 consecutive wins, winning the eighth game in that streak against the Orioles. That winning streak is a record that still stands today. Ciardi remained in the big leagues for one month that year then retired the following year due to a shoulder injury.

 

 

Saw Ciardi mention is this article about Jim Morris:

I believe he was the losing pitcher in game 14. I didn't realize he was actually teammates with Morris. Cool story.
"Dustin Pedroia doesn't have the strength or bat speed to hit major-league pitching consistently, and he has no power......He probably has a future as a backup infielder if he can stop rolling over to third base and shortstop." Keith Law, 2006

Well if you are going to get a taste of the majors it isn't going to get much better than being part of the 13 game winning streak. Looking back it is kind of amazing he was a starter during that streak and they didn't lost until game 14. Certainly turned out okay for Ciardi post baseball career.
