Even if that story is "embellished a bit", I think it would give one reason to suspect that ocho cinquo might not be named "teammate of the decade".

That was what I was referring to in my earlier post (#45) in this thread. I didn't know it came to blows though.

Consider that this was during Cincy's best season w/him as I recall. They were an up & coming team but seemed to regress since then.
