My least favorite list' date=' ironically, would include: Pete Rose Cal Ripken Ryne Sandberg Dale Murphy Howard Johnson Rafael Palmeiro Juan Gonzalez Pudge Manny Sanguillen Omar Moreno Oscar Gamble Frank White Pedro Guerrero Ron Cey Bill Madlock Carney Lansford Darrell Evans[/quote'] Cal Ripken ( I'm assuming you're talking about Jr.) and Dale Murphy are very surprising names on least favorite to me. Care to expound on those two, and why they made your list?
April 28, 201412 yr Cal Ripken ( I'm assuming you're talking about Jr.) and Dale Murphy are very surprising names on least favorite to me. Care to expound on those two, and why they made your list? I loathed the Braves of the TBS years in the early to mid 80's, and Dale was the face of them, so I didn't like him. Plus, with that mole, he always reminded me of John Boy from "The Walton's", and my family always watched that show (which I didn't like), so I held that against him too. On Cal Ripken, Jr., and I'm sure this will spark a debate I don't really care to have, but I think he was incredibly over-rated. He was an accumulator when it comes to stats, just play a long time, stay healthy, and you end up with a good looking box on the back of the card. I played SS my whole life, loved flashy SS that made great plays, but his style never appealed to me. I also loathe Nolan Ryan and Ryne Sandberg, and I put all of them in the same bucket. In short, I don't have good reasons, but don't all of us have players that we don't like without any good reason? Sort of the life of a passionate and opinionated sports' fan.
