Repack Haiku #371 (Glenn Braggs)

What was his best catch?
Home run theft in playoff game
or En Vogue singer?
 
1989 Fleer #180 Glenn Braggs
 
In Game 6 of the 1990 NLCS against the Pirates, the Reds held a 2-1 lead in the top of the 9th inning. With one on, Pirates hitter Carmelo Martinez hit a long fly ball headed out of the stadium. Instead, Braggs made a game-saving catch that helped the Reds win. Cincinati would go on to win the World Series that year.

 
Oh, and he was also married to En Vogue singer Cindy Herron for almost 30 years.

(They divorced last year if anyone was curious...)

  2. My vote is for the singer. She told him he was "never gonna get it", but he did.

  3. I can't remember the last time I heard anyone mention En Vogue.
