Baseball Player

The Resume

    (July 5, 1972- )
    Born in Newark, New Jersey
    Birth name is Marquis Donnell Porter
    Outfielder for the Chicago Cubs (1999), Oakland Athletics (2000) and the Texas Rangers (2001)
    Third base coach for the Florida Marlins (2007-09), Arizona Diamondbacks (2010) and the Washington Nationals (2011-12)
    Manager for the Houston Astros

Why he might be annoying:

    He played on three different teams in his three years in the majors.
    He earned the nickname 'Bo' as a result of being a dual sport athlete in college.
    He was still under contract with the Nationals when he was appointed to the Astros managerial position and was forced to wait until the end of the Nationals post season run before he was formally introduced to the job.
    He and Jamie Quirk were part of a bench clearing brawl between the Cubs and Nationals when he left his third base post when the latter provoked a fight (2012).
    He lost 111 games in his debut season as the Astros manager.

Why he might not be annoying:

    He is the first Astros manager to manage the club in the American League.
    He was described as being upbeat and positive by former players and colleagues alike.
    He served as a bench coach to Kirk Gibson in Arizona, which paved the way for him to be a front runner for vacant managerial jobs.
    He played football at the University of Iowa, in addition to baseball.
    Despite posting a 51-111 record in his debut season, he guided the Astros to an Opening Day victory in the team's debut as an American League franchise (April 1, 2013).
