re: Is there a more unlikeable player in the MLB right now than Alex Bregman??

He pimped a home run. Big deal. Bautista chunked his bat twenty feet in the air in the playoffs not that long ago

Bregman, Simmons, and OBJ are all wrong. The most unlikeable player was Albert "Joey" Belle.

Controversies
In 1990, the Indians sent Belle to the Cleveland Clinic for two months for alcoholism rehabilitation.[1]

Belle was suspended in 1994 for using a corked bat, and gained further notoriety for sending teammate Jason Grimsley through the building's ceiling panel to break into the locked umpires' dressing room to retrieve his corked bat and substitute it with another teammate's bat, resulting in a seven-game suspension. The revelation of Belle's use of corked bats was given more emphasis when Cleveland teammate Omar Vizquel wrote in his autobiography that it would be naive to suggest otherwise and that "all of Albert's bats were corked."[10] He was fined in 1996 for knocking down Brewers infielder Fernando Viña, who had blocked his way between bases.[11]

Sports reporters resented Belle's refusal to grant interviews before a game. A profane outburst directed at a group of reporters in his team's dugout, including NBC Sports personality Hannah Storm, was widely reported during the 1995 World Series. He was unrepentant afterward: "The Indians wanted me to issue a statement of regret when the fine was announced, but I told them to take it out. I apologize for nothing."[12]

Eventually, Belle routinely refused to speak with the media. "I don't get excited talking about myself", he explained. "Guys such as Sandy Koufax, Joe DiMaggio and Steve Carlton did not interview, and it was no big deal. They were quiet. I am also quiet. I just want to concentrate on baseball. Why does everyone want to hear me talk, anyway?"[13]

But the media did not ignore him. Buster Olney, then of The New York Times, would write about his outbursts as a Cleveland Indian:

It was a taken in baseball circles that Albert Belle was nuts... The Indians billed him $10,000 a year for the damage he caused in clubhouses on the road and at home, and tolerated his behavior only because he was an awesome slugger... He slurped coffee constantly and seemed to be on a perpetual caffeinated frenzy. Few escaped his wrath: on some days he would destroy the postgame buffet...launching plates into the shower... after one poor at-bat against Boston, he retreated to the visitors' clubhouse and took a bat to teammate Kenny Lofton's boombox. Belle preferred to have the clubhouse cold, below 60 degrees, and when one chilly teammate turned up the heat, Belle walked over, turned down the thermostat and smashed it with his bat. His nickname, thereafter, was "Mr. Freeze."[14]
In 2001, following his retirement, the New York Daily News' columnist Bill Madden wrote:

Sorry, there'll be no words of sympathy here for Albert Belle. He was a surly jerk before he got hurt and now he's a hurt surly jerk....He was no credit to the game. Belle's boorish behavior should be remembered by every member of the Baseball Writers' Association when it comes time to consider him for the Hall of Fame.[15]
In his first year of Hall of Fame eligibility (2006), he garnered only 7.7% of the baseball writers' votes, missing election by an extremely wide margin.[16] But his vote total was high enough to keep his name on the ballot for the following year. In 2007, however, he garnered only 19 votes (3.5%).

In retirement, Belle had his first encounter with the Cleveland Indians since leaving the club in 1996, during their 2012 spring training in Goodyear, Arizona and was joined by former teammates Kenny Lofton, Sandy Alomar, Jr., and Carlos Baerga.[11]

Belle has had a chilly relationship with the Indians franchise during his retirement. He declined to attend the 20th anniversary celebration of the 1995 World Series team and he declined to attend the ceremony when he was inducted into the Indians team Hall of Fame.[17]

Legal troubles
In October 1995, Belle's house in Euclid, Ohio was egged after turning away trick-or-treaters on Halloween. Belle chased one of the trick-or-treaters in his car.[18] Belle was fined $100 for reckless operation of a vehicle. The guardian of the teenager sued Belle for $850,000 contending that Belle's car bumped into the teenager.[19] The lawsuit was settled in 1997.[20]

In 2006 Belle was sentenced to 90 days in jail and five years' probation after he admitted to stalking his former girlfriend.[21]

On March 25, 2018, Belle was arrested in Scottsdale, Arizona and charged with indecent exposure and DUI.[21] All charges were dismissed the following month.[22]

Kid is a cocky and phony piece of shite.

This cheating scandal has only served to expose his true nature to a lot more people. I certainly rooted for him at LSU, and also 2017-2018 in Houston. But that was despite the fact I already knew he was a pompous POS.

The way he attacked the Covington High School kids in January, 2019 and then didn't apologize for it when he was proven wrong made me stop paying attention to the little shite. And now he's totally botched his response to the scandal.

Screw that little virtue-signaling left-wing phony.
