ABOUT GRAIG NETTLES

Defensive third baseman who helped the New York Yankees win two World Series titles.

He was a star basketball player as a teenager, and earned a scholarship to San Diego State University.

He and his wife Ginger had four children together.

He played alongside Hall of Fame slugger Reggie Jackson for a number of years on the Yankees.
