The Resume

Why he might be annoying:

    His first name is a car brand and president's name.
    His last name is an expletive alternative.
    He is famed for putting an 'asterisk' on Roger Maris' home run record, making it separate from Babe Ruth's.
    It turned out that he was a ghostwriter of a Babe Ruth book and didn't want Babe's name struck from the record book.
    He was a 'yes man' for the owners.
    He was accused of favoritism towards the National League.

Why he might not be annoying:

    He pioneered the daily radio sports report.
    He helped establish the Baseball Hall of Fame.
    He eventually was elected to the Hall of Fame (1970).
    An award for baseball broadcasters is named in his honor.
    He told players who were threatening to boycott games because of Jackie Robinson, 'If you do this, you are through, and I don't care if it wrecks the league for 10 years. You cannot do this because this is America.'
