Apart from his talents, Bid made a name for himself by way of his longevity (he ruled the diamond for 18 of those years), his loyalty (he spent every season save one playing in Cincinnati) and sobriety (he was a rarity in his era: a player who hit the baseball, but not the bottle).
Bid was adept at cutting in front of the bag, catching the ball in his throwing hand, and then whipping a bullet right back to the catcher to nail the man trying to score from third.
Bid once again batted leadoff, and led the team with 55 steals, 82 walks and 125 runs, which ranked fifth in the N.L. His power numbers were excellent, with 16 doubles, three homers and 22 triples, which tied him for third in the league.
The 2002 Winter Olympic bid scandal was a scandal involving allegations of bribery to obtain the 2002 Winter Olympic Games in Salt Lake City, Utah.
Stricter rules were adopted for future bids and ceilings were put into place as to how much IOC members could accept from bid cities.
Although Salt Lake was not the first city to use creative bid tactics, it was the first to use them to such an extent, as well as the first to get caught.
