I read somewhere that Hitler started the whole genocide thing because he got bored...

 

[Cedrique]

How about this one-
When he came into the league he was one of the best hitting shortstops anyone had seen in a long time.
After a bad at bat or something he gave the home fans the finger. Management thought he was a head case and traded him straight up for another shortstop.
He had a decent career, but injuries kept him from being as good as he was his first couple seasons.
Also, when his original team traded him the guy they got back ended up going into the hall of fame.

• 4 time All-Star
• Won an MVP in 1954
• He was a fucking Pollack (hey I'm a quarter Polish I can say that)
• Had a three year span in which he hit 40 or more home runs every year
• Was on a pennant-winning team in '59
