Baseball Player

The Resume

Why he might be annoying:

    He turned down a football scholarship at Notre Dame to pursue a baseball career.
    He was used primarily as a bench player and in pinch hitting situations early in his career.
    He played on eight different teams during his career, which included three separate stints with the Royals and two with the Athletics.
    He was rumored to have undermined Tony Muser‘s authority, which played a role in his firing from the Royals coaching staff.
    He earned an ejection after he yelled at Nationals third base coach Bo Porter from the dugout, sparking a bench clearing brawl between the two teams (September 6, 2012).

Why he might not be annoying:

    He hit a game winning home run in his only at-bat with the Indians (September 27, 1984).
    He was a member of the Royals team that won the first World Series championship in franchise history (1985).
    Prior to Carlos Quentin, he was the major league record holder for home runs by a player whose last name started with Q.
    He guided the Royals to a 4-4 record in Tony Muser’s absence (2001).
    His laid-back nature and meticulousness for details made him a popular candidate for managerial vacancies during the early 2000’s.
