Biggest asshole in MLB history

[fordman84]

Chuck Knoblauch- he actually hit a fan

Frank Francisco then, he hit a fan in the face with a chair and broke her nose.

Which reminds me of Vincente Padilla. needs to be in the running, even his own teammates hated his ass. he would get tired or just not want to pitch anymore and start hitting guys until he was tossed. Then he would grin and laugh as his own team took the retaliation.

One of the card shop owners in Cooperstown said he informed everyone in advance he wouldn't be signing autographs.

I would say Pete Rose is the biggest asshole. Gambling aside, he was a prick. Cobb was probably a bigger prick, but played in a different time when you could get away with that..

Rocker is a close 2nd.

Rose always seemed like a nice guy. Putting him in the same breath as Cobb is laughable

I agree completely, but Vicente Padilla was also hilarious. He's got that machismo factor, used to crack me up.

I think the Ty Cobb statue at Turner Field is him trying to cleat somebody.

That doesn't qualify him as an asshole... Guy signed all the time when he was in Seattle...
Shit I remember in 95 him and Buhner showed up the night after forcing game 5 against the Yanks at a golf course, we drank beer and shot 18 holes before noon... It was frickn fantastic

Roger Clemens popped into my mind.

As a Braves fan, I still think we owe Melky Cabrera some payback, even if Freddie Freeman and Eric O'Flaherty are the only players that are still Braves from when he completely showed his ass when he was a Giant returning to Turner Field.

Rafael Palmeiro, should be on the list

banged Ryne Sandberg's wife and was traded away for it. and all his lies

 

[dirtboy068]

NO BILLY MARTIN? that guy was grade a ASSHOLE.

Has anyone said Barry Bonds yet?

 

[broncosmitty]

Piazza went into (great) detail about his back acne in his book, Long Shot, that he wrote a couple years ago.

Is he still really, really, really not gay?

Is he still really, really, really not gay?

No, but his boyfriend is.

Wasn't Bob Gibson known to be kind of a dick? I do know he once said to his own catcher (Tim McCarver) who was visiting him on the mound "The only thing you know about pitching is that you can't hit it"

To Gibsons credit, McCarver is annoying as fuck.

The entire sharpening his cleats thing was made up. He went with it cuz he liked the stigma.

Most all of the negative on Cobb was made up nonsense really.

Al Stump was a hack. And Ken Burns didn't bother to fact check.

 

[broncosmitty]

He still was an AHole though. Just not a murderous, racist, psychopath.
