He won a World Series championship with the Minnesota Twins in 1991, played for the Baltimore Orioles for seven years, played for the New York Mets and Texas Rangers for one year each and played for the Los Angeles Dodgers in the 2005 season. After that, he signed a contract with the Yankees and logged a 7.94 ERA in nine total games before he was released and officially retired.\n\nIn January 2021, a lawsuit alleged that Erickson and Grossman, who were dating, had cocktails before racing each other in Westlake Village, California, and then Grossman struck the two children at a crosswalk. Grossman was convicted of killing the boys, Mark and Jacob Iskander, and is now serving 15 years to life in prison.\n\nMORE FOR YOU\n\nErickson told traffic investigators that he had only one drink prior to the crash, but conceded that he had one regular size drink and one “jumbo size drink,” the Los Angeles Daily News reported. The former pitcher added that he had been drinking alcohol on a daily basis for a decade and that his drinking on that night did not affect his judgement.\n\n[ForbesBlue Jays’ Former Southpaw Joins Division Rival After Phillies TradeBy Peter Chawaga](https://www.forbes.com/sites/peterchawaga/2026/05/13/blue-jays-former-southpaw-joins-division-rival-after-phillies-trade/)\n\n## Former New York Yankees Pitcher Offers 5-Word Response On Lying To Police After Fatal Car Crash\n\nLast week, Clayton said that he had margaritas with Erickson and Grossman before the crash.\n\n“I knew it was wrong,” Erickson said in front of a court jury, per the Los Angeles Daily News.\n\nIn testimony on Monday, Erickson also admitted that he had deleted WhatsApp conversations with Grossman.\n\n“He also admitted he learned the deaths of Mark and Jacob Isklander the day after the crash,” Helen Jeong [reported for NBC Los Angeles](https://www.nbclosangeles.com/news/local/rebecca-grossman-scott-erickson-civil-trial-westlake-village/3889803/). “But he said he did not come forward about his involvement until investigators reached out to him a few weeks later.”\n\nThe court proceedings are expected to go on for at least a few more weeks.\n\n[Editorial Standards](https://www.forbes.com/sites/forbesstaff/article/forbes-editorial-values-and-standards/)[Reprints \u0026 Permissions](https://www.parsintl.com/publications/forbes/)\n\nLOADING VIDEO PLAYER...\n\nFORBES’ FEATURED Video","footer":"\n\n[](https://www.forbes.com/)\n\n© 2026 Forbes Media LLC.
