Gay Marriage Vote Puts Heat On Christie
Former All-Star and World Series champion Chuck Knoblauch has seen better days. Since retiring, Knoblauch was named on the notorious Mitchell Report as a player who partook in the use of illegal performance-enhancing drugs, and he has since admitted as much. Now, he's been charged with assaulting his common-law wife. Knoblauch faced the court Tuesday and was charged, following a criminal complaint filed by his wife (pictured here with Knoblauch and their son, Jake). In the complaint, she said he hit her in the face and choked her during a dispute in their Houston-area home.
Knoblauch will be released upon posting a $10,000 bond.
Knoblauch was a four-time All-Star in his 12 major league seasons. He won three World Series as a member of the New York Yankees' dynasty, but his best on-field work was done with the Twins. From 1994-1996 he was one of the best players in baseball. It was a span in which he hit .330 with a .422 on-base percentage and 126 stolen bases. He finished in the top 20 in MVP voting in each of those years. Late in Knoblauch's career, he was plagued by several mental issues, most famously his inability to make an accurate throw to first base on routine grounders. He eventually was moved to the outfield and then retired from baseball at the relatively young age of 34.
For now, there are no further details on the assault charges, as Knoblauch's attorney did not return phone calls to the Associated Press.
