maxim.com — There are any number of people within sports who heap shame upon their families every time they leave the house. This season, however, baseball more or less found itself in the clear.

  • beachsouthpaw, on 10/05/2008, -0/+4The Yankees: All that money and not even a playoff berth to show for it.

  • terracottapai, on 10/05/2008, -0/+3Karma's starting to win over cash.
    Which is good.
  • Ghostalker, on 10/05/2008, -2/+410c Beer Night. Wikipedia it. Both the funniest, and most shameful day in baseball history.
  • Vajrapani, on 10/05/2008, -2/+4How in the world is Dusty Baker not on this list? The Reds are getting it from ALL sides.
  • WinZiggy, on 10/05/2008, -0/+2This Mets fan in not sorry to see Shea go; although on closing day I don't know if it was the nostalgia or the fact that the Mets efeed up again that made me want to cry :(
  • bizkit00, on 10/05/2008, -0/+1Wouldn't it be easier to just write "Baseball's Most Embarrassing Nouns"?
  • thegamingguy, on 10/05/2008, -3/+4Was hoping to see Jim Edmonds on this list, I can't stand him.
  • Spoomeister, on 10/05/2008, -0/+1Where they belong.
  • partrow, on 10/05/2008, -0/+1Baseball itself is embarrassing, not just the "players" and what they do. And it is supposed to be the "national past time"? That is also embarrassing to many of us Americans.
  • Spoomeister, on 10/05/2008, -0/+1Dugg, with a tear in my eye, for immediately mentioning the Seattle Mariners first.

    The beautiful ballpark, the fans with no other ML baseball in a 1500 mile radius... hell, the hall-of-fame broadcaster Dave Neihaus, who doesn't have many years left in him and has sat through a LOT of bad baseball... we deserve a litle better than this.

    :( :( :(
  • Spoomeister, on 10/05/2008, -0/+1Don't care.
  • haydesigner, on 10/05/2008, -0/+1Let it go.......
  • redsoxmb545, on 10/05/2008, -0/+1You're saying that wasn't embarrassing?
  • iamdan1, on 10/05/2008, -1/+1What about Hank Steinbrenner?
  • wukillabee, on 10/05/2008, -2/+2lolcubs
  • Spoomeister, on 10/05/2008, -1/+1Or maybe because no one cares about the Cubs as much as the media wants them to.
  • malonie, on 10/05/2008, -1/+1beisbol is beri good to us....Mets bullpen
  • airjordans, on 10/06/2008, -0/+0www.aol66.com wholesale Air Jordan Shoes cheap Air Force ones 1s low/Mid,Air Jordan Force Fusion,Air Jordans shoes,more jordan basketball shoes pls visit:www.aol66.com!
  • clinikillz, on 10/12/2008, -0/+0I buried your comment because you're wrong. :)
  • yourbrokenoven, on 10/05/2008, -2/+1Buried. Sports is off-topic. Go to ESPN.
  • IIECONII, on 10/05/2008, -3/+1Dugg for "Cum-rocket" (I know, I know)

    ...and then buried because baseball sucks.
  • RegalGSX, on 10/05/2008, -2/+0The Cubs must enjoy the feel of other teams ramming their Louisville Sluggers straight up their asses year after year in the postseason.
  • redsoxmb545, on 10/05/2008, -3/+1Where's Bill Buckner?
  • bitweever, on 10/05/2008, -4/+2Where's the Cubs?
  • RegalGSX, on 10/05/2008, -4/+2The Cubs are no longer lovable losers, they're just losers. 9 straight post-season losses. What a despicable bunch of useless human beings.
  • fyreboltx, on 10/05/2008, -4/+2I just saw the Cubs lose, sign on digg and see this. I'm incredibly shocked that the Cubs didn't even receive an honorable mention.

    Or maybe they were left out of pity?
  • endustry, on 10/05/2008, -4/+1Where is Manny on this list? He takes care of business on the field but his juvenile ***** is inexcusable. Shoving a 60-something team secretary to the ground and cursing at him? Please. He needs a fastball to the nuts ASAP. Now that the Dodgers have advanced I am also conflicted about their chances of wining it all. Joe Torre effectively telling the Yankees, "How you like me now, bitches?" is a very pleasing thought but Manny getting to be ***** of the year and earning a third ring in the process would be proof that karma is dead.
  • Axtell2k5, on 10/05/2008, -5/+1How does this ***** ass story with 75 diggs make the front page? Maxim doesn't know sports...pathetic, miserable story.
  • stooge4ever, on 10/05/2008, -4/+0Two words:
    Steve Bartman
  • AmericanGunner, on 10/05/2008, -8/+2baseballol
