Biggest Jerks in the HOF

[Jim65]

Juan Marichal, anyone who hits another player in the head with a bat is not only a jerk but a coward too.

Enos Slaughter. Wrong side of history.

The death of Babe Ruth's wife, Helen Woodford, always makes me raise my eyebrows just a tad. Nothing to support that, of course.

But Roseboro forgave him and they became good friends.

I don't know. That article is interesting but getting punched and getting hit by a bat are two different things. Marichal could have killed him.

I look forward to someone starting a thread only about the nice guys in the Hall.

Since I haven't had any personal contact with any of them, I venture to guess that Harmon Killebrew might be a good one to start with.

Anyone have good things to say about any of our heroes?

I enjoyed meeting Ernie Banks. He was a sincerely nice man.

That is my impression of him!

Brooks Robinson is a class act all the way. He and Buck O'Neil are the two nicest athletes I ever had the pleasure of meeting and speaking with.
