The Resume

    (March 12, 1956- )
    Atlanta Braves (1976-1990)
    Philadelphia Phillies (1990-1992)
    Colorado Rockies (1993)
    2 time NL MVP (82, 83)

Why he might be annoying:

    He is a devout Mormon which is considered a cult religion.
    He has 8 kids (whew!).
    As a rookie he was a catcher, but could not throw out runners attempting to steal, prompting his dad to say 'Son, they won't steal centerfield on you.'
    When he asked to either be traded or given a substantial raise, Ted Turner quipped, we finished in last place with you, we will finish in last place without you.

Why he might not be annoying:

    He won back to back MVP awards.
    He is very involved in his religion, serving in a high leadership role in Boston.
    He would not endorse products that contained caffeine.
    As a player, he would not allow females (other than his wife) to hug him.
    After failing as a catcher, he became one of the best outfielders of his era.
