- Pvisi111, on 08/08/2008, -0/+38I'm glad Ty Cobb was number 1. A lot of of people don't realize how much of an ***** he was.
- harrisbradley, on 08/08/2008, -4/+23Dugg for clemens-jeter pic.
- inactive, on 08/08/2008, -0/+19Yeah, I only checked the story to be sure he's number one.
"When I began playing the game, baseball was about as gentlemanly as a kick in the crotch. "
-Ty Cobb.
"Cobb is a prick. But he sure can hit. God Almighty, that man can hit."
- Babe Ruth - howdareyou, on 08/08/2008, -1/+15Cracked is great, I just don't get why some huge articles are contained on one page; while others are spread out across multiple pages.
- MysticSavage, on 08/08/2008, -0/+14Yes, he's a prick, but 7 foul balls to shut up some hecklers? That's ***** cool.
- Tophillious, on 08/08/2008, -5/+18any cracked article = instant front page
- inactive, on 08/08/2008, -4/+15Why ain't John Rocker on this list?
- Cnat, on 08/08/2008, -0/+10Cobb was a piece a work. He also stabbed a man after an altercation, choked a groundskeeper's wife over the condition of the field, and hit 7 straight foul balls into a group of hecklers helping them to shut up. Cobb also refused to commend any aspect of Babe Ruth's skill other than to say "he could run okay for a fat man."
- jrobelen, on 08/08/2008, -12/+22Hernandez does not deserve to be on the list. Blaming him for Strawberry and Gooden? That's absurd; downright libelous. And his views on women is shared by 95% of male athletes.
Sidney Ponson is at least more demonstratively deserving (a drunk-driving, judge-beating "prince" of Aruba), and what about PETE ROSE!! Sheesh. This list should be buried. - Ex3poo, on 08/08/2008, -4/+13I didn't see Pete Rose,he ended a guy's career in All star game.
- Ftown13, on 08/08/2008, -5/+14How the hell is John Rocker not on this list?
- blackinthmiddle, on 08/08/2008, -0/+9The first thing I did was to see where Ty Cobb was. Taking steroids = you're a cheater. Stabbing a guy and being racist is a hell of a lot worse.
- Temo1, on 08/08/2008, -0/+9Listen, I'm sorry you weren't accepted on your Little League team, but not all baseball players are *****.
- inactive, on 08/08/2008, -0/+8 * Yes, he's a prick, but he sure can hit. God Almighty, that man can hit!
About Ty Cobb, a notoriously vicious player. Quoted in The Sporting News (12 July 1950); as actually published in The Sporting News, "prick" was replaced by "[censored]" — elsewhere, including Field of Screams: The Dark Underside of America's National Pastime (1994) the quote has appeared as "Ty Cobb is a prick." or sometimes "Cobb is a prick. But he sure can hit. God Almighty, that man can hit."

Some of those are pretty bad, but I'm thinking one stands out among the rest. - serif69, on 08/08/2008, -0/+6Paul O'Neill was never an ***** to anyone but himself and the occasional water cooler.
- 2ndrookie, on 08/08/2008, -1/+7Then don't read them! No one cares what you think.
- imacmike, on 08/08/2008, -1/+6Albert Belle isn't on this list (Why not?!?) but this brings to mind a catchy little song I know...
(To the tune of Jingle Bells, starting with "dashing through the snow")
Baseball is just a game
to play and if you're good
you'll make it to The Bigs
and live up in Brentwood
Fans will chant your name
say you're the best they've ever seen
and you don't even have to be a decent human being!
OH
Albert Belle's doing well
making 50 mil
If he wants to rip a toilet of the wall he will.
Hurled a fastball at a fan
and nailed him in the chest!
When it comes to baseball heroes,
Albert Belle's the best!
-Originally written by Glenn Erath of San Diego. - minox, on 08/08/2008, -1/+6I'm not sure the part about Bonds buying Kimberley Bell the house in Arizona is accurate. I just finished Game of Shadows a few weeks ago, and if I am recalling correctly, he promised to buy her a house, made the downpayment, then stuck her with all the monthly mortgage bills. So he is in fact an even bigger *****.
- soulonfire928, on 08/08/2008, -0/+5Sports on Cracked?
- jorichter, on 08/08/2008, -4/+8Jesus, that see through shirt on Jose Canseco... He's a bad man.
- blackinthmiddle, on 08/08/2008, -0/+4Here's the passage from Wikipedia:
'Cobb once slapped a black elevator operator for being "uppity." When a black night watchman intervened, Cobb pulled out a knife and stabbed him (The matter was later settled out of court).' - dhVyse, on 08/08/2008, -1/+5Yeah, unlike XKCD they are still hilarious.
- OC73, on 08/08/2008, -0/+4I'm a long time mets fan and can vouch that Keith Hernandez was indeed a legendary *****.
- minox, on 08/08/2008, -0/+4Well he is an ass. He convinced her to quit her job in San Francisco where she was making like 80k per year on the promise that he would buy her the house where they could be together during spring training. Then he left her with bills she couldn't pay.
- notthatnoise, on 08/08/2008, -0/+4you played right field in t-ball didn't you?
- sq2shooter, on 08/08/2008, -0/+3I love how every sports writer hated Canseco. Yea he was an ass but he was right all along. Without him, they wouldn't have exposed all these other cheating bastards. He is partly responsible for the cleaning up of baseball. I guess writers are jealous because he did what none of them were willing or able to do.
- jpe81, on 08/08/2008, -1/+4clearly this is inaccurate....keith is the man. he doesn't hurt people he only helps people...especially people who suffer from having gray hair.
- iJessicaRabbit, on 08/08/2008, -0/+3http://digg.com/settings/topics
- Lionhart, on 08/08/2008, -1/+4No Pete Rose? Wtf?
- inactive, on 08/08/2008, -0/+3yea, me too...he was good though...remember the fight between him and the Straw during the team photos??!!
Classik! - bytor4232, on 08/09/2008, -0/+3I saw it. I liked it. Tommy Lee Jones was excellent as the grizzled old ball player, but the real performance came from Robert Wuhl. He was great.
- blackinthmiddle, on 08/08/2008, -1/+4More ad dollars.
- Temo1, on 08/08/2008, -0/+3Yes I can. Shooting someone is not an appropriate response to seeing a raised finger. I'd like to see your reasoning in court.
"Yes, your honor, I did shoot this man. But he was flipping me off, he deserved it!"
"Oh, I see now. Good point, completely deserved." - inactive, on 08/08/2008, -1/+4Barry's dad Bobby belongs on that list as well. He was an incredible prick. Like father, like son.
- DrumRobC, on 08/14/2008, -0/+2How is Pete Rose NOT on this list?? He bet AGAINST his own team and was banned from baseball for it. WTF>?>?
- inactive, on 08/09/2008, -0/+2Coming from you, I call that a complement. Thank you!
What can I say, at least I can give a guy credit for standing behind his convictions, regardless of what the fallout it is, or regardless of whether or not I agree with it.
Sure beats the phoniness that is all to prevalent in today's world. Jesse Jackson is a good recent case. - ganymede2010, on 08/08/2008, -0/+2Ha Ha, that's P. Diddys mom that Keith Hernandez is snuggling next to. I'm serious, google it you'll see. I just think it's kinda funny:)
- Pufflosz, on 08/08/2008, -0/+2Paul O'Neill does not belong on that list. My cousin was recovering from brain surgery and Paul took the time to visit him in the hospital. He may have been intense on the field, but away from the game Paul is funny and down to earth.
- uncertainty, on 08/09/2008, -0/+2Crappy broadcasting? Have you even listened to a Mets game recently? He has more in depth analysis than Joe Buck or anyone on ESPN. He won an emmy, enough said.
- minox, on 08/08/2008, -1/+3Ty Cobb was not like by players, seeing as they did try to sabotage his run at the batting title one year. But after he stopped playing he did some good things like endowing a scholarship fund, which helps make up for it.
- BiscuitWorld, on 03/27/2009, -0/+2The fact that Steve Garvey is not on this list is a major injustice to ***** everywhere.
- Scrappy1850, on 08/08/2008, -0/+2ive only heard good thinks about rose... he bet ON his team.
- chesscat, on 08/08/2008, -0/+2LOL about Barry Bonds: "In Barry's defense though, at least he was nice enough to buy her a house in Arizona. So he had a place to bang her. "
- BetterOffEd, on 08/08/2008, -0/+2Did anybody ever see the movie?..
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0109450/
. - kidathinnes, on 08/08/2008, -0/+2I've heard from numerous sources Johnny Bench is an *****. I could see it.
- Number23, on 08/08/2008, -0/+2So true.
I have the MLB Extra Innings package so I could watch the Red Sox. My wife and I regularly play "Where's Waldo?" with respect to non white fans at Fenway.
In Boston's defense, the NE area has a relatively low minority population and there fewer and fewer blacks on the field. - inactive, on 08/08/2008, -0/+1the sad part...Yawkey's influence still holds this day...Have anyone seen a black Sox fan in the stands???
- HappyScrappy, on 08/09/2008, -0/+1He's an ass. No question.
But giving a person a house isn't one of the reasons.
He was cheating on his wife with her, and then offered to give her things, etc. Here's a tip: when you already know a guy is a cheater, don't go trusting him to take care of you forever. You'll get burned just like he's burning his wife. -
