'Macho Man' tried baseball before wrestling

By Evan Drellich / MLB.com

Before becoming professional wrestling star Randy "Macho Man" Savage, Randy Mario Poffo tried his hand at professional baseball.

Poffo, who played in the Minor Leagues from 1971-74, was killed in a car crash Friday in Florida according to The Associated Press. He was 58.

In the wrestling world, Poffo was made famous for his "Oooh Yeah!" catchphrase and a rivalry with Hulk Hogan. He was a champion in Vince McMahon's World Wrestling Federation -- now the WWE -- and later the now-defunct World Championship Wrestling, once owned by former Braves owner Ted Turner.

A Florida Highway Patrol crash report said the former wrestler Poffo was driving a Jeep Wrangler when he lost control in Pinellas County collided head-on with a tree around 9:25 a.m. Friday, The AP reported. Police told The AP that Poffo may have suffered a "medical event" before the accident, but the report did not elaborate.

Poffo was a lifetime .254 hitter with 16 home runs and 66 RBIs in 289 games in the Minors, and he hit .286 with a pair of homers in his debut season with the Gulf Coast League Cardinals, according to Baseball-Reference.com. He played in the Reds organization at his last stop, at Class A.

Listed as a switch-hitter who mostly played the outfield but also caught one game and played first base, Poffo played alongside a few future big leaguers, including 14-year outfielder Larry Herndon.

Chicago Cubs VERY Interested in Pujols

The St. Louis Cardinals just possibly let the greatest player in franchisehistory slip through their fingers…Albert Pujols' self imposed deadline to reach a new contract agreement has expired…Pujols will become a free agent next year and everyone is thinking the Redbirds biggest rivals, the Chicago Cubs will go after Pujols…My source tells me they 100% will pursue Pujols, and will break the bank if necessary. A source close to Cubs GM Jim Hendry tells me Hendry has already had discussions with relatively new Cubs Owner Tom Ricketts about paying Pujols 300 million over ten years…I’m told Ricketts is ready to write Albert a check now…Cardinals general manager John Mozeliak knows of his rivals plans, but will continue to try and make it happen even though the deadline has passed. I’m sure he’ll end up with Cardinals one way or another
