Baseball Player

The Resume

Why he might be annoying:

    His last name sounds too close to Pet-this.
    He frequently struck out, and was known to have a high strikeout rate by baseball pundits.
    His 1985 Topps rookie card with the Angels is remembered for the fact that his younger brother was the one who actually posed in the picture.
    He was remembered for colliding into his teammate Brian Dowling four separate times during the 1986 season.
    His tenure on the Astros coaching staff is remembered primarily for being associated with the team during the sign-stealing scandal.

Why he might not be annoying:

    He was considered a solid defensive player, who wasn't afraid to sacrifice his body to make diving catches.
    He earned a Gold Glove Award as a member of the Angels, Tigers and Rangers.
    He is the father of both actor Kyler Pettis and NFL player Dante Pettis.
    His defensive prowess led some baseball pundits to say that 'he made playing center field look easy.'
    He was diagnosed with multiple myeloma, which caused him to miss the first half of the 2021 season.
