I'm glad to see Alfred Manuel Martin at the top of the list.

(He's too much of an a$$hole to be called "Billy" -- sorry if there are any Alfred's out there.)

I am not a fan of the American League or the Yankees, but it's a shame that Martin and Whitey Ford turned a young, backwoods kid from Oklahoma (Mickey Mantle) into an alcoholic and shortened his life.

Billy Martin as Manager had his best record the first year, each time he joined a new team (including each of his three stints with Steinbrenner).

He declined in every single assignment, mainly because he wore out his pitching staff as soon as he took over.

He couldn't see the big picture.

Of course, another Yankee built a Managerial record of taking teams stocked with talent, but which won Championships only after he left. We were, of course, one of Buck Showalter's stops.

Perhaps if he weren't so busy micro-managing how their wear their socks. And, once again, capable of seeing the big picture.

Perhaps Bob Melvin will make the next list. Also incapable of seeing the big picture.

Chris Young dropped to 7th in the batting order. Breaks a huge hitless streak and is immediately moved to 2nd. Next day, back at 7th. Talk about screwing up a kid's head.

Is there a link that works? I tried searching for MLB A-hole team and the first link it listed was a bio of A-Rod from the yanks official site :lol:, for real! I remember in 2004 when yankeehater.com sold "A-Rod is an A-hole" shirts. It is true! :)

MLB All-cornholio Team

Came up with this list with a friend of mine while we were bored at work:

C – AJ Pierzynski

1B – Rafael Palmeiro

2B – Roberto Alomar

SS – Ozzie Guillen

3B – Pete Rose

LF – Barry Bonds

CF – Joe DiMaggio

RF – Ty Cobb

DH – Albert Belle

UTIL – Milton Bradley

SP – Roger Clemens

RP – John Rocker

This list is pretty airtight, but I’m open to any suggestions.

How does Manny Ramirez not make that team?

Kevin Brown was right up there with the worst of them.

P.S. My personal nominee. Nellie Fox spit tobacco juice at me.

Any list without Rogers Hornsby is not a list worth making. These lists are too myopic.
