Braggs pays emotional visit to hospital

CINCINNATI -- Glenn Braggs made one of the biggest plays in the Reds' wire-to-wire championship season of 1990, robbing Pittsburgh's Carmelo Martinez of a home run that would have tied Game 6 of the National League Championship Series. Cincinnati clinched right after that and proceeded to sweep Oakland for its last World Series title.

On Sunday afternoon, the former outfielder, who wore George Foster's No. 15, became just the latest of many 1990 Reds who made appearances at various community events connecting the 25th-anniversary magic with this year's All-Star Week. But his appearance did more than bring back treasured memories.
