The bat was a little corky


Born on today's date, Chris Sabo.

Chris was a three time All Star, the 1988 NL Rookie of the Year and a World Series champion in 1990 with the Reds.

But with the good, you gotta take the bad.

In his final season in 1996, during a game in July, Chris shattered a bat which turned out to have been filled with cork and he was subsequently suspended for seven games.

Bummer! Just a bummer! Evidence all over the field!

What can you possibly say other than something like "It's not my bat and I don't know who's it is."

Well, he did.
