Buff Bagwell Reveals Why He Had His Leg Amputated
Buff Bagwell is still feeling the effects of his past behavior, as it has now cost him his leg. Maven's latest vlog features a visit with Buff Bagwell, but it's not under the best of circumstances. Maven went to visit Buff because he was having his right leg amputated. On July 10, Bagwell had what he said 'they 'nicely called' an 'AKA: Above the Knee Amputation.'' Bagwell explained that in August of 2020, he was driving under the influence. He was drinking the night prior and took prescription medication the next morning, even pointing out he drank a Diet Coke since he knew he'd be operating a vehicle. Bagwell ended up getting in a serious accident, blacking out as he drove his car through a bathroom behind a Marietta, Georgia mall. Bagwell says the accident caved in his kneecap. He had other injuries, including a black eye and shoulder injury, but the wreck had shattered his knee. 'When you hear 'knee replacement,' you think [I'll] get a new knee. But you've got to have your kneecap. And I didn't have my kneecap. My kneecap, the doctors said on impact, it exploded. It wasn't there.' Buff Bagwell had dozens of surgeries on his leg to try and fix it Buff Bagwell says he believes he messed up with an initial operation to fix his leg. He says one doctor told him he had a 75 percent chance of losing his leg, and he's had what he estimates to be '30-something surgeries' to try and fix the problem. 'There was a seven-week stay early on in 2020 where there were 21 surgeries,' Bagwell said. Bagwell says no one ever mentioned amputation besides the original doctor. He continued going to doctors, and one gave him a 20 percent chance of keeping his leg. He would have had to have three different surgeries, hours of physical therapy, and his leg would have remained straight for the rest of his life. Buff Bagwell is happy he's sober, and wants to get back in the ring Bagwell believes everything happens for a reason, and he doesn't believe he would be sober if he didn't have the leg injury in the first place. 'I'd rather be sober right now with this situation, than Buff Bagwell on WCW making money and in the funk that I was in. I'd much rather have this life.' After the procedure, Buff said he wants to learn how to run and get back in the ring. 'It'll show that I've come out of the darkness with this thing and I've turned it around all the way to being back in the ring as Buff Bagwell. You don't have to give up with something like this. I am taking it by the horns and I am going to show the world that you can have just as good of a life with or without a leg.'

Some of baseball's best prospects participate in All-Star Futures Game
Some of the best prospects in baseball were at Truist Park on Saturday for the 26th All-Star Futures Game. The game featured 16 first-round picks, including nine from the 2024 draft. Former Georgia Bulldog Charlie Condon was drafted third overall by the Colorado Rockies in 2024 and is the highest-picked player from that draft class who played in the game. Advertisement 'It's really cool, you know, obviously came to a lot of Braves games growing up as a kid,' Condon said. Condon might be the Rockies' top prospect, but he's definitely a Georgia guy through and through. [DOWNLOAD: Free WSB-TV News app for alerts as news breaks] He grew up in Marietta, played baseball for the Georgia Bulldogs, and now instead of siting in the stands watching the Braves play, he's playing in the All-Star Futures Game for the first time in his professional career. 'It was just really cool to get out there and play a game with this level of talent on this field. It's special and to have my family in town and to be able to share this day and this moment with all them. It's going to be really fun,' Condon said. Advertisement Representing the Braves are right-hander JR Ritchie, named the starting pitcher for the National League team, and left reliever Hayden Harris from Augusta, Georgia. Since he and Condon both grew up cheering for the Braves, they're both honored and excited to play for Hall of Famer Chipper Jones. 'I grew up and watched those guys growing up, watching Chipper. Even, you know, everyone talks about, like, remember his last home run, it was a walk-off. And just being able to play for him, I said, and I just had an interview. He looks pretty good in the manager's outfit, I'm not going to lie. So, you now, being able to see him on the front step, you know hopefully have a few conversations with him. Like, that would be sick,' Hayden said. 'One hundred percent, you know as a fellow corner infield guy you know that's and he's a big dude so you know just picking his brain about things like that how he went about handling his business on the defensive side of things I mean everybody knows him as a switch hitter, power hitter, but he was a heck of a defender too so you know it's just all hundred percent. (I'll) Be diving into that guy's brain,' Condon said. Jones and his National League team won the All-Star Futures Game 4-2. [SIGN UP: WSB-TV Daily Headlines Newsletter]
