The Resume

    (June 19, 1974- )
    First Baseman for the Minnesota Twins (1998-2004), Boston Red Sox (2004), New York Mets (2005), Kansas City Royals (2006), New York Yankees (2007), Pittsburgh Pirates (2008) and Los Angeles Dodgers (2009)
    Recorded the final out of the 2004 World Series

Why he might be annoying:

    After catching the series winning ball, he immediately gave it to his wife and refused to give it to the Red Sox.
    He claimed that the ball would be for his 'retirement fund.'
    The incident with the ball was a major reason why he was traded.
    He's only an average hitter with little power.
    He lost his starting job in 2004 to Kevin Millar.
    He played little part in the Red Sox 2004 World Series win.
    His last name is hard to spell.

Why he might not be annoying:

    He's left handed.
    He eventually decided to loan the ball to the Red Sox for a year.
    He's a great defensive first baseman.
    He's made less errors in his career than some make in a year.
    He likes to chew gum and blow bubbles while playing.
    His wife Jodi was named as an honorable mention for 'sexiest sports wife' by FHM.
