It's hard to imagine that the woman in that picture almost ended her life over a career .279 hitter. She says that's what happened, though. Halle Berry told Parade Magazine (the one that comes with your Sunday paper) that she tried to kill herself after her break-up with David Justice.

Not that I have anything but contempt for him anyway, but I don't know that I could have ever forgiven David Justice. We almost lost Halle because of this pretty-boy Braves outfielder, and current Yankee broadcaster? Insane. I couldn't live with that.

But on the other hand, if this had never happened, maybe her self-esteem would've never dropped low enough to do that scene with Billy Bob Thornton in Monster's Ball, so maybe it was for the best.
