    1995 N.L. MVP
    4 time Gold Glover (1993-1996)

Why he might be annoying:

    He held out for a salary of $9.3 million per year in the summer of 2000, even though his body had worn down and he was past his prime.
    In the summer and fall of 1998, he see-sawed on whether or not he wanted to be traded from the Reds.
    He held out for the Reds to get grass at Cinergy Field, even though the place was only gonna get played in for 2 more years (October, 2000).
    He refused to play any position other than shortstop.

Why he might not be annoying:

    He played for the same baseball team for 18 years.
    He was loyal to his home city and rejected a trade to the NY Mets (July 2000) so he could finish his career where he started.
    He was the first short stop to hit 30-30 in a season (1996).
    He donated $50 for every hit he gets to needy children in the inner cities of Ohio.
    He was a fan favorite in Cincinnati.
