Glenn Braggs

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Glenn Erick Braggs (born October 17, 1962, in San Bernardino, California) was a Major League Baseball outfielder and designated hitter. He is an alumnus of the University of Hawaii at Manoa.

Drafted by the Milwaukee Brewers in the 2nd round of the 1983 MLB amateur draft, Braggs would make his Major League Baseball debut with the Milwaukee Brewers on July 18, 1986, and appear in his final game on September 10, 1992.

Braggs was a member of the Cincinnati Reds team that defeated the Oakland Athletics in the 1990 World Series.

Glenn Braggs is married to Cindy Herron, also known as Cindy Herron-Braggs, an original member of the female R&B group En Vogue. They have 4 children.

Braggs was known for his upper body strength, and in fact once snapped a bat on a check swing. When he stopped his swing, he put so much force on the bat to stop it that it sheared off just above the grip, without ever touching the ball. He also once swung so hard at a pitch that the bat broke on his back on the follow-through.
