Baseball Player

The Resume

    (May 26, 1975- )
    First baseman for Atlanta Braves (1997-1999), Detroit Tigers (2001-2002), Pittsburgh Pirates (2003, 2004), Chicago Cubs (2003), Tampa Bay Rays (2004) and Philadelphia Phillies (2006)
    Italian sausage mascot beater

Why he might be annoying:

    He was arrested on July 9, 2003 for swinging a bat at an Italian Sausage mascot during a game between Pittsburgh Pirates and Milwaukee Brewers.
    Witnesses heard Simon saying that the Italian Sausage was 'a real brat.'
    One teammate joked that Simon bet his 'meal money' on the Sausage mascot race.
    Simon was a nobody until he battered the sausage.
    he's remembered more for the sausage incident than any of his on-field accomplishments.
    Brewers executive VP Rick Schlessinger said of the incident it was 'one of the most outrageous things I've ever seen inside a ball park or outside a ball park. It sickened me to see it.'
    He was fined $432 for disorderly conduct.

Why he might not be annoying:

    John Rocker called him 'a fat monkey.'
    He claimed it was an accident and that the half swing of the bat was not intended to purposely hit the mascots, saying 'People who know me will know better than that.'
    He was a Major League Baseball player.
    The females inside the mascot outfits, Veronica (21) and Mandy (19), only suffered skinned knees.
    The sausage race incident became a sports bloopers classic.
