Bernie Carbo who is a former outfielder and designated hitter played in MLB for 12 seasons. Bernie was a breakout star for the Cincinnati Reds as a rookie in 1970 batting .310 and 21 home runs (in only 125 games) and he helped the Reds to the 1970 World Series. He was selected as the Rookie of the Year by the Sporting News that season. He became an immortal in Boston in 1976 when playing for the Red Sox against Cincinnati, Bernie hit a 3-run game-tying home run with two outs in the 8th inning of Game #6 of the World Series.
