Savage also made a famous, controversial appearance in the Reds’ radio booth on Sept. 21, 1989. Appearing on the air with Marty Brennaman and Joe Nuxhall, Savage caught the attention of players and fans during the game. It also caught the attention of Reds president Marge Schott, who had him thrown out of the booth.
“If a celebrity like Macho Man can’t go into the booth, who can?” Reds star Eric Davis said of the incident after game. “If it had been a guy from pet control, he’d have been welcome.”
