Everybody who follows major league...
Everybody who follows major league baseball knows what kind of player Chris Sabo, third baseman for the Cincinnati Reds is, but not everybody knows that Chris Sabo got his chance because a veteran player, Buddy Bell, was injured during spring training. Chris Sabo, an untried rookie, became the starting third baseman because of that injury. The start may have been inauspicious but once given the opportunity to play his performance was better than expected. In fact it was so good that he never gave up the starting job again, and as a rookie he even made the All-Star team.
