Current: Buck Showalter for some reason turns my stomach.
All-Time: Randy Johnson, be-mulleted or not, mustachioed or clean-shaven, he was always a gremlin.
Have you forgotten The Great One?
Wait a minute, we have a challenger.
Ooh! Mossi! Nice one.
I think Willie McGee wins this contest…
But there are a couple of pretty good entries already.
Can any active MLBers challenge Buck Showalter? I understand he’s not traditionally ugly, there’s just something about seeing his doughy white face that makes me throw up a little in my mouth.
I think Bartolo Colon is pretty ugly but when I looked for a picture to illustrate this none of the pictures seem to be as homely as he seems to be on TV. This one is kind of funny tho.
When it comes to the Unit, it’s hard to be attractive when you’re 6’10.
Asdrubal Cabrera is one of my favorite players. I’ll admit he goes through periods of looking pretty fugly, and then looks ok.
He had braces for a while and that looked weird. He’s got curly hair that looks bad when it’s long (cuz he slicks it back) but he insists on wearing it long sometimes. And then his weight really fluctuates, more than any other player I’m familiar with. So sometimes he looks muscular and athletic, and sometimes he looks flabby and puffy.
When he’s got braces and long hair and is flabby with a puffy face, with those big ears and crooked mouth…he just looks bad.
I could list a bunch of basketball players in that height range who are perfectly good looking guys.
The guy I thought of when I saw this thread was Gary Gaetti, but the pictures I found of him really weren’t that bad looking. Maybe I’m mis-remembering.
mhendo-You’re obviously correct. Johnson is fugly though.
Otis Nixon was (and I assume still is) hideous:
Clay Carroll anyone?
And I’ve always had a hard time looking at Pete Rose’s mug.
mmm
This was a post that you really needed to leave off your initials.
Damn, it looks like he has Klingon forehead ridges! That is one scary-looking dude :eek:
What about Adam Harang? Lovingly nicknamed Harangutan
Good thing he was wearing that hat.
Gotta second Mossi. A friend and I had a game we used to play with baseball cards during slow moments at summer camp back in the 1960s. We facetiously called Mossi “Dreamboat” because he was about as far from it as you could imagine. Bill James agrees.
