Default Worst Baseball Player of All Time

This list has him as #2, but that appears exclusively because of the notoriety associated with the name Mario Mendoza, who is listed as #1. So, yes, it does appear, exclusive of the notoriety factor, Bill Bergan may be considered the worst baseball player of all time!

Look as some of the others on this particular list!

Default Worst hitter is more like it

Bill didn't stay in the majors for a good many years because of his hitting. But apparently he was one of the best defensive catchers of the era- at a time when catching defense was a huge part of the game.

It's such an unfair label and technically impossible for Bergen to be tops in the list. He was a catcher for 10 plus years in an era where not too many catchers lasted that long.

I finally got a listing mentioned on the boards. Yay me!

I do occasionally editorialize in the title when space permits and he has the worst WAR of all-time.

Since I didn't start the thread I don't feel too guilty in plugging the card. Closes in 14 hours. For only $25 you can own the worst player ever!
