"Are you old enough to pee?"

No doubt that Knoblauch was a good baseball player. His attitude was the problem.

some old expression about fame, fortune, and buying happiness comes to mind

quote:

He came to our tailgate one time back when he was still playing. He was arrogant and aloof, and we weren't sad to see if go. It's a shame because after he flashed the "gig'em Ags" on his batting glove during the World Series intro in his rookie season, he was Aggie royalty. I'm not sure he'd be welcome on-campus by many today.

I have never figured him out. Over the years he has said/done some really odd things related to building his legacy at A&M. I have to agree with W's post above.

Off the rails. Sad to see

Never liked this guy. Can't think of many Ags I feel that way about. Still an ass apparently.

I will come to his defense to this extent, saw him while he was still with Minnesota, signed for my son and was very nice while he was here for a campus visit.He was pround of being an Aggie. Not trying to give him cover, but read about his family and there has been plenty of trouble later within the Houston/ Bellaire neighborhood. Not sure what it was like growing up in that house.

I believe you, and I'm certainly not piling on

I just thought "are you old enough to pee?" Was so lame, that it was inadvertently hilarious

I actually thought the oh that's right, you're already one was worse. I remember using that on my brother when I was 8 or 9.

Last photo I saw of him he looked more like Artie Lange.
