Perfect timing, perfectly absurd. Omg, the Picasso image to illustrate “fucked the rooster” is fucking inspired.

He was on the juice which doesn't help his legacy in some quarters and he was arrested for a domestic dispute with his wife, too. I can't imagine they love him in Minnie, either, though his "deke" of Lonnie Smith in the '91 Series is famous. Yeah, seemed like a mixed up guy.

A nest of bees in your beard? I liked Knoblauch a lot, and his throwing yips were supportive in a way for that softball game we all play sometimes. He is a well remembered Yankee, a winner.

With Knoblauch, the good outweighs the bad, by far. He was a huge part of those teams' success. Good stuff.

He worst year baserunning was also his worst year with the throwing yips so maybe there was just something wrong with his focus. He grabbed 19 steals in 22 attempts in his last year in KC so he was still pretty sharp in a lot of ways when he left the game. Pete Rose ran into an out 43% of the time when he tried stealing a base but that's being a gritty gamer. Throwing outs away as Knoblauch did gets you labeled an all-time head case.

Remember, though, he made that great play in the 8th inning of Coney's perfecto? And no matter how bad things got in the field he was always a pain in the ass at bat. Good offensive player.

His woes were incredibly public but advanced defensive stats show he was no worse than Jeter or Bernie out there even with the odd duck beaning Keith Olbermann's mom in the stands. It may look bad to miss 4 foot putts but you have to have a strong iron game to even be in that position.
