Ty Cobb has to be up there, he would do anything it took to reach a base and his attacked a disabled man who heckled him with slurs. I will say that many of the negative things associated with Cobb came from the Al Stump's ghost written autobiography, released after Cobb's death, which made Cobb look worse than he actually was. Ted Williams pretty much called Stump a liar when referring to an incident between Cobb and Williams.

The Knife in Ty Cobb's Back

Still Cobb was a mean SOB and in today's game players wouldn't put up with his dirty play.

Roger Clemens and Curt Schilling have to be up there. Every time I think of Schilling I picture with that towel over his head.

Cobb had a prett rough life in general. His mom killed his dad. His dad didnt want him to play ball, told him not to come home a failure. Honestly Cobb respected his dad and his murder put a lot of bitterness inside him.

Juan Gonzalez is high on my personal list. Met him when I was about ten, which was 1998 when he was awesome, and he pretty much wouldn't give me the time of day. Tore down the life sized poster of him on my room after that one lol
