Never knew any of this. Sad, actually, that he likely worked real hard to get into MLB and all went crashing down around him.


He was my favorite player as a kid, but was always rumored to be somewhat of a jerk. I remember an early story about him pushing a kid that got too aggressive wanting an autograph. Probably more to it but a typical Knoblauch story.

I'm always on the lookout for Knoblauch items but not much unique comes up.
