Timeline

1930

Born in Houston, Texas, Knoblauch came from a baseball family, as his uncle Eddie Knoblauch and father Ray Knoblauch played and managed in the minor leagues between the late 1930s and mid-1950s.

1968

Edward Charles Knoblauch (born July 7, 1968) is an American former professional baseball player.

1986

Knoblauch played for the Bellaire High School baseball team, which also produced many other former major leaguers, including Chris Young and Jose Cruz, Jr. Knoblauch missed his senior season (1986) due to a broken leg, but he cheered from the bench as the team won the state championship.

The Philadelphia Phillies selected Knoblauch in the 18th round of the 1986 amateur draft, but he did not sign.

He attended Texas A&M University and played college baseball for the Texas A&M Aggies, where he was a second-team All-American.

1988

In 1988, Knoblauch played collegiate summer baseball with the Wareham Gatemen of the Cape Cod Baseball League (CCBL), and received the league's Outstanding Pro Prospect award.

1989

He later played on the 1989 team that finished the season with 58 wins, the highest total in school history.

Knoblauch was drafted by the Minnesota Twins in the first round of the 1989 MLB draft.

1991

He played 12 seasons in Major League Baseball, from 1991 through 2002, for the Minnesota Twins, New York Yankees, and Kansas City Royals.

He played mostly as a second baseman before moving to left field for his final two seasons.

Knoblauch won the American League Rookie of the Year award and a World Series ring as a member of the 1991 Minnesota Twins.

In Game 7 of the World Series, Knoblauch attempted to deceive Lonnie Smith by appearing to start a double play on a Terry Pendleton double (causing Smith to get only to third base when he might have scored for the Atlanta Braves).

Smith claimed he lost track of the ball and Knoblauch's decoy was not a factor.

1994

During the 1994–96 seasons, Knoblauch batted .312, .333, and .341, respectively, won the Al Gold Glove Award at second base in 1997, and stole over 40 bases in three consecutive seasons.

1998

The Twins traded Knoblauch to the New York Yankees for Eric Milton, Cristian Guzmán, Brian Buchanan, Danny Mota, and $3 million on February 6, 1998.

Once a popular player in Minnesota, his request to be traded from the Twins resulted in being booed on successive trips to the Metrodome.

In game 2 of the 1998 American League Championship Series against the Cleveland Indians, Knoblauch was involved in an infamous defensive play.

Once considered one of the game's best fielders (in fact, ESPN personalities nicknamed him "Fundamentally Sound" Chuck Knoblauch), Knoblauch's play deteriorated shortly into his Yankee career; his errors at second doubled from 13 in 1998 to 26 the following year; all of these were throwing errors.

1999

Knoblauch recovered and was an important factor in the World Series victory over the San Diego Padres, and the 1999 World Series victory over the Atlanta Braves.

In Game 3 of the 1999 World Series, Knoblauch scored the game's first run and hit a dramatic two-run home run in the eighth inning to tie the score, with the Yankees eventually winning in the 10th inning.

2000

In 2000, he began to have difficulty making accurate throws to first base, a condition sometimes referred to in baseball as the "yips" or "Steve Sax syndrome" in more recent years.

Knoblauch tried various solutions to his problem, but his throwing did not improve.

He made 15 errors in less than half a season in 2000, including 10 throwing miscues.

(During one game, an errant throw sailed into the stands and hit sportscaster Keith Olbermann's mother in the head).

After making three throwing errors in six innings of the Yankees' 12–3 loss to the Chicago White Sox, on June 15, 2000, Knoblauch voluntarily left the game.

He then left Yankee Stadium in his street clothes while the game was still in progress.

2001

In 2001, he was inducted into the CCBL Hall of Fame.

This included throwing hot dogs, bottles, and golf balls at Knoblauch during a visit to the Metrodome in 2001.

Knoblauch's arrival in New York was greeted with anticipation.

Buster Olney, then with The New York Times, predicted that Knoblauch and Derek Jeter would form the greatest double play combination in history.

Though he struggled early on with the team, he hit a career-high 17 home runs as the Yankees won a then-American league-record 114 games.

In Game 5 of 2001 World Series, Knoblauch scored the winning run, having led off the inning with a single and scoring on a single by his replacement at second base, Alfonso Soriano.

The Yankees won the American League pennant every year he was with the team, winning three World Series championships.

Towards the end of his career, Knoblauch's performance at the plate grew worse, with many observers believing he was preoccupied by his fielding troubles and trying too hard to hit home runs.

Knoblauch was benched in the final game of the 2001 World Series (he hit just .056), and left for Kansas City as a free agent in the off season.

Knoblauch played in just 80 games in left field for the Royals, batting .210, and the team declined to offer him a new contract the following year.

2003

In 2003, having failed to gain a job with an MLB team, Knoblauch announced his retirement.

2012

In the 12th inning with the score tied 1–1, Indians batter Travis Fryman bunted, and Knoblauch covered first base for a possible putout.

Jeff Nelson's throw hit Fryman and rolled away, but instead of retrieving the ball, Knoblauch argued with the first-base umpire interference should have been called, while the ball was still live at which Indians baserunner Enrique Wilson was able to score from first base on the play, giving Cleveland the lead in an eventual 4–1 victory.

A New York newspaper called Knoblauch a "Blauch-head".
