Summary
Former MLB veteran Glenn Braggs joins me. Glenn Braggs was born in 1962 in San Bernardino, California. A right-handed hitter, he attended the University of Hawaii and was drafted in the 2nd round of the 1983 amateur draft. Braggs quickly developed into one of Milwaukee's brightest young prospects, hitting .390 and producing an OPS of 1.189 in rookie ball. The powerful young outfielder promptly moved through the minors, hitting a robust .360 with 15 HR in only 90 games at AAA in 1986. He settled in as a part-time player in Cincinnati for three seasons with modest success and was part of the Reds' 1990 World Series team, making a nice home run-saving catch to preserve his team's lead in game six. In 1993 he signed with Yokohama in the Japanese League, beginning a successful four-year run overseas. He hit .300 in Japan and, in 1994, smashed 35 home runs. Braggs retired from professional baseball after the 1996 season at age 33. We discuss his journey from his youth to his time winning a World Series ring with the 1990 Cincinnati Reds --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/rationalhour/support
