The Resume

    (May 29, 1962- )
    Played for the Cincinnati Reds (1985-1991, 1996) LA Dodgers (1992-1993) Detroit Tigers (1994) Baltimore Orioles (1997-1999) St. Louis Cardinals (2000) and San Francisco Giants (2001)
    3 time Gold Glover (1988-1990)
    6 time All Star (1986-1990, 1998)
    Co-author of 'Born to Play: The Eric Davis Story'

Why he might be annoying:

    He was on the disabled list quite frequently.
    He is friends with Darryl Strawberry.
    He is a born-again Christian.
    He is quite the ego-maniac.
    The consensus is that he never really lived up to his potential as a baseball player.
    When he sat out the entire second half of the 1991 season because of 'fatigue,' Reds owner Marge Schott called him 'My 3 million dollar, bat swinging, fly ball chasing nigger.'
    He retaliated by calling Schott 'A butt ugly old hag with no baseball or fashion sense.'
    He retired for the 1995 season.

Why he might not be annoying:

    His older brother was a gang member and died in a gun battle in South Central LA. This convinced young Eric to focus on sports and stay out of trouble.
    He recovered from rupturing his kidney after making a diving catch in the 1990 World Series, to play almost 10 more years in the majors.
    He hit 27 homers and stole 80 bases as a rookie in 1985.
    Fans in Cincinnati always stood by him, no matter what.
    He recovered from colon cancer in the winter of 1997/1998.
    While still undergoing chemotherapy, he reported to spring training for the Orioles in 1998 and made the team.
    He forgave Schott for her remarks.
    He now spends his time volunteering at the YMCA in South Central Los Angeles.
