March 16,2010 – Former Twins second baseman and 1991 AL Rookie of the Year Chuck Knoblauch has pled guilty to misdemeanor assault on his common-law wife. According to the original criminal complaint, Knoblauch’s wife stated to police that Knoblauch hit her in the face and choked her last September. According to court records, Knoblauch entered his plea today in exchange for a deferred- adjudication probation. If Knoblauch completes his one-year probation successfully the conviction on the assault of a family member would be expunged from the record. Knoblauch was also fined $1,000.
