The MLB(ehave) Team

Watching baseball on its own merits is great, but sometimes we get to enjoy a little extra entertainment, showmanship and drama as some players just can’t help but lose it. Here are my selections for the all-bad behavior team.

C – AJ Pierzynski: The only player who could get punched in the face by Michael Barrett and still not garner very much sympathy.
1B – Prince Fielder: Not only has he fought with members of his own team (Manny Parra) in the dugout, he waited outside the Dodgers clubhouse after getting beaned. Prince means business.
2B – Roberto Alomar: Class act on the Jays, not so much on the Orioles; needs to keep spit on the ground where it belongs.
SS – Alex Rodriguez: When he is not spending time in Toronto gentleman’s clubs, he is busy yelling at Blue Jays infielders and trying to knock the ball out of first baseman’s hands.
3B – Scott Rolen: Seemed like a good guy in Toronto, but you would have to pretty much punch a baby in the face to piss off Terry Francona.
OF – Milton Bradley: This board game enthusiast is the only player I have ever heard of tearing a his ACL while yelling at an umpire.
OF – Paul O’Neil: My first experience of a professional athlete throwing temper tantrum was seeing the right fielder lose it back in the early 90s.
OF – Carl Everett, responsible for more ruined baseball equipment than any other major league player in the 90s. His interviews are also entertaining, as he claims that dinosaurs never existed; the bones were placed there by God.
P – Roger Clements: This professional baseball player mistook a broken bat for a baseball and THAT is why he threw it at Mike Piazza. Luckily more baseball players don’t mistake shattered bats for balls.
P – Pedro Martinez: Remember when he threw Don Zimmer to the ground in that Yankees/Red Sox brawl? If you’re 45 years older than Pedro, don’t mess with him.
Manager – Lou Pinella: oh yeah.
