His claim to fame was when he played for the KC A's, Alusik hit HR's in five consecutive games. A record he
held with the A's for 44 years until it was finally broken by Frank Thomas (playing for the A's) in 2006.

Ted, he looks like he would be far more comfortable with a slide rule than a bat lol.

I'll put CC up against John Daly for the tie. He looks like he's about to have a heart attack.

Anyone who has a cheeseburger tattooed on his chest has a rotund physique in his future.

I'm surprised no one mentioned the most obvious example...
Ruth

Like most, I love the Babe, but if you showed anyone a photo of Ruth from the later part of his career, and they didn't know who he was, and then proceeded to explain his accomplishments and lofty status... I'm betting they would think you're pulling their leg.
