Everything about Aaron Cook totally explained
Aaron Lane Cook (born
February 8,
1979 in
Fort Campbell,
Kentucky) is a right-handed
Major League Baseball pitcher currently playing for the
Colorado Rockies. He has played with the Rockies for his entire Major League career, spanning from
2002 onwards.
Cook saw his
2004 season come to an abrupt end when it was discovered that he suffers
pulmonary embolism, or
blood clots. During an
August 7 start against the
Cincinnati Reds, Cook complained of dizziness and shortness of breath. After he was taken to a local hospital, doctors discovered blood clots had formed in his right shoulder. On
September 10, Cook underwent extensive
surgery at a
St. Louis hospital during which the first
rib on his right side was removed to relieve compression on a major
blood vein.
He stayed on the
disabled list until July 30, when he gave up seven runs and eleven hits in 4 1/3 innings of a 9-2 loss to the
Philadelphia Phillies at
Coors Field. His first 2005 victory came in an 11-2 victory over the
Milwaukee Brewers on August 15 when he pitched six innings and gave up two runs and nine hits. In his final 12 starts of 2005, Cook went 7-1 with a 3.07
ERA. For this outstanding recovery from his very serious condition, he was awarded the 2005
Tony Conigliaro Award.
Cook and his wife, Holly, have two children, stepdaughter Alexis and son Elijah (12/1/03).
On June 27, 2007 Cook allowed Craig Biggio's 3000th hit in
Minute Maid Park to a soldout crowd.
As of May 26, 2008, Cook has compiled a 7-3 record with a 2.82
ERA despite pitching for a struggling
Colorado Rockies team decimated by injuries to many starting players. He won six consecutive starts from
April 13, 2008 to
May 9, 2008.
