Today I talk about what is currently going on within the MLB along with a story about a man who once had so much potential, got into his own head and wasted his career.

The Story of Chuck Knoblauch and How Competition Can Change a Person.

Born in Houston, Texas, Knoblauch came from a baseball family, as his uncle Eddie Knoblauch and father Ray Knoblauch played and managed in the minor leagues between the late 1930s and mid-1950s. Knoblauch played for the Bellaire High School baseball team, which also produced many other former major leaguers, including Chris Young (outfielder) and Jose Cruz, Jr.. Knoblauch missed his senior season (1986) due to a broken leg, but he cheered from the bench as the team won the state championship.Chuck stole 25 or more bases for 10 of his 12 major league seasons. He has the most stolen bases in Minnesota Twins history since moving in 1961. He returned in 2018 to the new Yankee Stadium to commemorate the 20th anniversary of the ‘98 World Series Champions.Chuck was AL Rookie of the Year in 1991. A four-time All-Star and four-time World Series champion, he miraculously walked more times in his career than struck out. He walked 804 times and only struck out 730 times. The turning point of Chuck’s story occurred in 1998 when he developed the Yips.

This week, before we get to the Scummie Awards, we dodge an errant throw from a man who was bred for baseball. It was his dream, from the time he could remember, and he achieved that dream, despite his smaller stature. Although he was very successful, someone his brain just wouldn't let the good times roll, and it ruined his career, and sent a sportscaster's mother to the hospital. Unfortunately, it wouldn't be the last person he sent to the hospital, as his personal life started to crumble, and multiple marriages dissolved, resulting in court, violence, arrest, and humidifiers used as weapons. Work so hard that coaches tell you to stop practicing, win 4 World Series rings, and injure an old lady with a badly thrown baseball with Chuck Knoblauch!! Check us out, every Tuesday! We will continue to bring you the biggest idiots in sports history!!
