He was a MONSTER in the 90 playoff run and a fine player. Injuries ultimately killed his trajectory. Oh, and... uhhhhhh, that corked bat thing. But, ummmm, we don't have to talk about that.
I went to the bar at Hofbrau to order a beer and looked to my side after placing my order, and lo and behold, there sat Chris Sabo. I chatted him up, never letting on like I knew who he was (no glasses). They brought my beer, and after telling him to have a good evening, I said "by the way, loved your play for the Reds, that 1990 season is one of my best teenage sports memories". He looked kinda shocked that I hadn't brought any of that up until then, or asked for an autograph or picture. He said "thanks man, and thanks for a normal conversation." He was trying to be low key, and I obliged him. Nice guy to talk with.
