Posted By: <b>Hankron</b><p>Poor Don, he gets so much flack. Let's hope he had a sense of humor about it. Amongst Hall of Famers, I find Eddie Collins close to Mossi both in features and level of attractiveness ... Pretty or not, Collins at 2B and Mossi in the bullpen could be the start of one fine team.<BR><BR>"So I'm ugly. I never saw anyone hit with his face."<BR> -- Yogi Berra

Posted By: <b>jay behrens</b><p>Yogi Berra certainly isn't a prize winner either. Unless of course you belive the that finalized version of him that appeared on the 1953 Topps.<BR><BR>Jay

Posted By: <b>MW</b><p>As many of you know, Yogi Berra and Warren Spahn were teammates on the New York Mets in 1965. Spahn was 44 at the time and Berra had just turned 40. A curious reporter asked Berra if he and Spahn constituted the oldest pitcher-catcher battery in Major League history. "I don't know if we're the oldest," Yogi replied, "but we're certainly the ugliest!"

Posted By: <b>Adam J. Baxter</b><p>Don Mossi probably would get my vote as the most hideous Major Leaguer. Of course, Levi Meyerle and Sam Thompson would be decent runners-up. If Meyerle and Thompson were still living I don't think either would have a snowballs chance in hell of making the cover of GQ.

Posted By: <b>Adam J. Baxter</b><p>To be fair to Meyerle and Thompson, who aren't here to defend themselves, my chances of gracing a national magazine cover would probably be just as slim.

Posted By: <b>brian parker</b><p>I have always thought that Walter 'Rabbit' Maranville later in his career was about as ugly as you can get. Definitely nothing cute about this rabbit.<BR><BR>Brian

Posted By: <b>warshawlaw</b><p>how Yogi has parlayed a lack of aesthetic qualities into a high income. He's one of those endearing ugly guys, like Danny DeVito. People like him. Mossi, on the other hand, no one likes, so he takes a lot of crap. Now, if you look at it objectively, he's got about the same look as Sal Maglie did on game days: all scowl, beard and nose. Of course, the jughead ears put it over the top. <BR><BR>Here's my all-ugly team:<BR><BR>C: Yogi Berra ('nuff said)<BR>1B: Ted Kluszewski (last thing I saw looking like that had bolts in its neck and was trying to pick music out of the air)<BR>2B: Eddie Collins (the face of a child molester with Dumbo's ears)<BR>SS: Honus Wagner (bow-legged, horsey faced)<BR>3B: Ron Cey (ok, a little weak here, but who stole the chipmunks' teeth?)<BR>OF: Babe Ruth (not an attractive man--a barrel on piano legs with a face like a pug), Hank Bauer (once described as having "a face like a clenched fist") <BR>P: Don Mossi

Posted By: <b>B C D</b><p>in 76 I ran over to get his autograph after I got Harmon Killebrew's while on the Royals and I got to tell you, this guy had the worse acne scars. His face looked like the bright side of the moon!

Posted By: <b>Jon</b><p>Otis Nixon? I always thought he looked like he fell from the "ugly tree" and hit every branch on the way down... And for that matter, I never thought good ole A.C. Anson was a prize either... (at least from a guy's perspective!)
