Outfielder Chuck Carr cemented his legacy with the Milwaukee Brewers on this day 20 years ago.

In the 8th inning of a game in Anaheim, the Brewers were trailing 4-1 against Angels' ace Chuck Finley. Leading off the inning, Carr had a 2-0 count and was given the signal to take a pitch. He ignored the sign, swung and popped out.

Brewers manager Phil Garner who had already had two dustups with Carr in the still-young season confronted the player at his locker about the at-bat, the Journal Sentinel reported.

Carr responded in the third person: "That ain't Chuckie's game. Chuckie hacks on 2-0."

And that was the end for Carr in Milwaukee. He was sent to the minors the following day, refused the assignment and was cut, forfeiting his $325,000 salary. Carr was picked up by the Houston Astros a couple weeks later for what would be his last year in the majors.

"The Brewers were aware of Carr's reputation as a me-first player before acquiring him from the Florida Marlins in January 1996," Journal Sentinel beat writer Tom Haudricourt wrote at the time. "They ignored it because he possessed the one talent in short supply in the organization: superior speed."

"(That me-first reputation) didn't show last year, but it did this year," Brewers General Manager Sal Bando said at the time. "For the six weeks we had him last year, he played well."

Carr was tops in the majors in stolen bases in 1993. He played eight seasons in the big leagues.
