OT - Anyone remember Chucky Carr?

I thought about him as Pedro Feliz swung at a 3-0 pitch from Turnbow in tonight's game.

Carr is perhaps remembered most for his hasty departure from the Brewers in 1997. After popping out to third base on a two balls, no strike count - Carr was questioned by manager Phil Garner. Carr reportedly replied to Garner by saying in third person: 'That ain't Chuckie's game. Chuckie hacks on 2-0.' He was released from the club shortly thereafter. A Blog about the Milwaukee Brewers, Chuckie Hacks, is named after this incident.

I remember him and I remember him being stupid at the plate for sure. But I also remember him being really fast and fun to watch out in CF. Didn't he always try to make routine catches look really cool with basket catches and such?

I think you are thinking of Willie Mays Hayes from "Major League."
