Why he might be annoying:

    He spent $40,000 a year on cocaine, and would take a snort between innings.
    He admitted that he slid head first to avoid damaging the vial of coke he kept in his pocket.
    He spent his best years overshadowed by fellow prolific base stealer Rickey Henderson.

Why he might not be annoying:

    He led the National League in stolen bases four consecutive seasons (1981-84).
    He returned to baseball after spending a year in treatment for lupus (1999).
    He and son Tim Raines, Jr., became the second father-son combo to play alongside each other (2001), following Ken Griffey, Sr. and Jr.
