Danny Graves Life

Daniel Peter Graves (born August 7, 1973) is a Vietnamese-born American former Major League Baseball pitcher.

Born to a Vietnamese mother and an American serviceman father, he is the only Vietnam-born player in the history of the major leagues and one of the few American players of Vietnamese descent.

Graves pitched for most of his career for the Cincinnati Reds, where he was team's saves leader each year from 1999–2004, except for 2003 when he was a starting pitcher. He played college baseball at the University of Miami.

Early life

Graves was born in Saigon to Thao and Jim Graves, a U.S. Army sergeant, during the Vietnam War. The family fled the country when Graves was 14 months old after they learned of the impending fall of Saigon. After settling in the United States, Graves and his brother, Frank, spoke Vietnamese until teasing from classmates caused them to abandon the language.

He graduated from Brandon High School in Brandon, Florida, and was awarded a baseball scholarship to the University of Miami. As a right-handed relief pitcher for the school as a junior, he posted a 0.89 earned run average and led collegiate baseball with a school-record 21 saves.

Personal life

Graves is married with two children and has four children from a previous marriage.

Johnny Bench, a Cincinnati Reds legend, has been chastised for a 'anti-Semitic' remark made against former team executive Chris Mitchell

www.dailymail.co.uk, July 16, 2023
As the late team executive was being honoured on Saturday night, Cincinnati Reds legend Johnny Bench made a remarkably anti-Semitic remark about former general manager Gabe Paul. Bench was on hand with Pete Rose, his ex teammate, as well as other former Reds Bronson and Danny Graves for the team's Hall of Fame celebration in Cincinnati. The remark came in response to a tale that Rose revealed about his first venture with the team out of a local high school in 1960, according to The Athletic. 'When I came out of high school in 1960, Gabe Paul committed me to a 400-dollar per month,' Rose said.' Jennie, Paul's daughter, chuckled: 'That cheap... never mind.' 'He was Jewish,' the bench reminded the crowd.'
