The only baseball player I like is Ty Cobb. The rest of them can rot.

Cobb had racist tendencies, but he was one of Jackie Robinson's biggest supporters.

And as far as playing dirty, the late Eddie Guererro was famous for the saying, "Cheat to win".

Ric Flair is an icon and he was known as "the Dirtiest Player in the Game".

And Pete got screwed by baseball. He bet on his own team, not against them.

Charlie Hustle is the man.
You can't fault a guy that gives 100% every day, even if he has a penchant for gambling and hookers. That actually makes me like him better. He's a regular guy.
Even Ty Cobb's mother hated him. He gets zero points. He's Barry Bonds 100 years removed.

Well allow me to clarify: I like Ty Cobb because he WAS so thoroughly despicable--yet honest.

Hehehehe. You're a bad man.

He once beat up a handicapped guy in the stands who didn't have any hands, for crying out loud.
