The Resume

    (March 16, 1982- )
    Born in Winchester, Massachusetts
    Pitched for the San Francisco Giants (2006-12) and Los Angeles Dodgers
    Selected to the National League All-Star team (2008, 2010)

Why he might be annoying:

    He shares his name with a Beach Boy.
    He is heavily tattooed and sported a faux hawk.
    After recording a save, he makes an 'X' (cross armed) gesture with his arms and points to the sky.
    He was angered when Casey Blake mocked his cross armed gesture after hitting a home run, and promised he'd never forget it.
    He had to dress like and perform as Billy Idol as part of his rookie hazing.
    He grew an outrageously long beard, and, 'earned' the nickname 'The Beard'.

Why he might not be annoying:

    He attended Louisiana State University.
    He had Tommy John surgery (2003).
    The 'X' (cross armed) gesture is a tribute to both his late father and his strong Christian faith.
    He struggled mightily during spring training 2007 and was sent to AAA; the next year, he made the All Star team (2008).
    In a league filled with drab and serious personalities, his colorful and eccentric personality stood out.
