The Most Hated Players in Baseball History 

I don’t like A-Rod that much but when he yelled “mine” on the pop fly, that’s pretty hilarious.

Roger Clemens needs to be talked about

A-Rod yelling “mine” rounding 3rd is honestly just genius gamesmanship

Machado is definitely disliked. I personally dislike him after he dragged his foot over Jesus Aguilar's ankle in the 2018 NLCS. But I feel like someone who isn't remembered as being hated is Carlos Gomez. Dude caught heat for being cocky

Tbf to A-Rod, yelling "mine" or "I got it" is funny af and a good play imo as a runner

Ty Cobb is an interesting case but I will say that some of the stories come from one guy who hated him. He then waited till he passed to write "true stories" about him smearing his name. Sure he wasn't the best guy out that but many of the bad stories really need to be examined closer. Also he advocated for the spikes to be dulled so they did less damage.

Love the content man! Couldn't help but notice that you put 1998 MVP on the Canseco graphic. Small details. No biggie. Keep up the awesome work man. You have a wealth of knowledge for a younger guy and the upward inflection of your voice keeps viewers interested in your videos. \m/

Milton Bradley, Carl Everett, Jose Offerman. Oh, and Jeff Kent, too. Bonds just took away most of the attention while Kent was a Giant.

Bryce Harper would be a good one, as well as the other side of the argument that says he's underrated.

Ty so much for pointing out how Ty cobb was unfairly portrayed. When I was younger I saw the movie, I read Al stumps book and loved learning about this reckless man. A hard playing, no nonsense leave it all on the field player yet was a bigger monster off the field. Then the internet came about, and I got more of the same information and then some, a lot of it contradicting what I thought was fact and Charles Leerhsens captivating book came out and my mind was blown and I stand firmly that this man should be as iconic to baseball in a good way like a babe ruth, who also wasnt perfect but is still a beloved member of this amazing game.

Yelling ‘mine!!’ by Arod was just smart 😂😂😂

PEDs are not the main reason people dislike a player, look at David ortiz or Andy Pettitte, they did peds and people still like them. But if a player is a jerk and egotistical, then peds just make it worse for them

I really like the new way you’re making vids. Well done man

The entire 2017 Astros will always be booed no matter what team they’re on

Failing to mention Stan Musial in your most loved section of the introduction was a miss.

You should probably make an entire video on Ty Cobb, because it was only after his death that the slandering began.

2:57 - I can understand this but the whole "sanctity of the hall" thing falls apart when you realize Cap Anson, one of baseball's premier racists, is in the hall. Gambling is nowhere near as bad as working to remove a marginalized group of people from the sport.

The Cleveland Indians had a Ty Cobb day

IMO the first two names that come to mind are Roger Clemens and Chris Sale. Although I'm probably biased against them being a Tigers fan.

Your high rising terminAL is insufferabLE.

Man, this is something. Want to add in the list Mel Hall, Chad Curtis, Vince Coleman, Milton Bradley, Rogers Hornsby, Jonathan Papelbon, Carlos Zambrano, Nyjer Morgan, etc.

If A.J. Hinch has moved on to manage the Detroit Tigers, and Alex Cora has moved on to manage the Boston Red Sox, then Carlos Beltran should be given the same courtesy and allow him to be rehabilitated in the Baseball Community. All of them were part of the Astros scandal.

Great video

8:00 IIrc, the guy was basically called Cobb a half-breed and wouldn't shut up. And as you may be able to guess from the other incident, Cobb didn't like one bit.

Josh Hamilton for me. Never liked him, drug addict with a history of relapsing, abused his daughter, I’ve seen videos of him refusing to sign autographs and he killed a guy when he threw him that ball and he fell to his death.

Jose Altuve is one of the other most hated baseball player

Ty Cobb had that dawg in him

Surprised Altuve wasn’t here even though he did nothing wrong

As a Yankee fan A-Rod takes the cake for being the most hated player overall both on and off the field.

They hate you because they ain't you

I was at a Tigers spring training game against the Pirates the day I decided I was NOT a fan of Bonds. There were only a handful of people at the game- I’d say less than 10. And he refused to even acknowledge the fans, much less say hello or maybe even a quick autograph.

I love your channel bro. Keep it up

Gotta do another one to talk about Zambrano

Two of the most hated players ever are two of my favorite players A-Rod and Barry. I absolutely love both of em!

Roger Clemens

Definitely need to talk about Machado

There's a few who could have made this list for sure - Roger Clemens, Manny Machado, Trevor Bauer immediately spring to mind - but I doubt many would disagree with any of the names mentioned here.

Good Vid

Papelbon

Curt Schilling! He's an interesting case. His reputation seemed pretty good while he was playing, but it's gone downhill from there. His scam video game company and unhinged twitter rants really damaged his reputation, but when he revealed Tim Wakefield's cancer diagnosis without permission, it completely destroyed whatever goodwill people had for him, for good reason

Zambrano has to be up there.

I love Canseco

Mic discipline is drastically better this time, good work!

As a Cubs fan, A. J. Pierzynski when on the White Sox can EAD! Edit: I wrote that before seeing the honorable mentions. Well done sir! lol

Do a video on players who weren't very good in terms of mlb, yet still had a long career. The Doug Dascenzos of the world.

Love the face cam!

Cobb gets a bum rap. I'm pretty sure it's come out that the reason people hate him is because of the exaggerated hatchet job Al Stump did on him.

John Rocker

Do you have a hockey channel?

Most beloved current(last 20 years) and beloved older player (over 20 years) for each team

It's hard to believe you didn't mention Kirby Puckett as a beloved player. That's crazy dude.

You named the most loved players of all time WITHOUT mentioning Babe Ruth. 😮

Honestly the calling mine whilst rounding the bases one is just awesome not hate able to be honest.

Zimmer ran at Pedro he ain’t a victim

It's kind of crazy to not let bonds in the hall of fame. Most of them were juiced to the gills at that time and he was the best of them....by far. Let him in.

The only two players I ever refused to purchase a ticket to see were Pete Rose and Barry Bonds, absolute disgraceful a-holes, the two of them.

Jose Bautista should be on here. Brotha could not get an mlb contract because 2/3 of teams did not like him

I mean, there's so few lifetime bans that you make it to Cooperstown, just in a different car. Also Ty Cobb was not a good baseball personality. DO NOT stick up for him.

Fun fact about ARod, his family hates him. I went to school with his cousin and worked at the same mall as his aunt, met his mom, no one liked him except his mom.

Ryan Braun deserves to be included

Should make an exception and have angel Hernandez on here

For anyone who often chooses to forget, the 5th requirement for eligibility in the HoF as outlined by the BBWAA states "Voting shall be based upon the player’s record, playing ability, INTEGRITY, SPORTSMANSHIP, CHARACTER, and contributions to the team(s) on which the player played."

Baseball needs more villains…lack of villains or players fans love to hate makes it boring. I would like to know who do people hate nowadays…

Dutch Leonard, amazing pitcher for the Red Sox in the 1910s. Was known as a difficult and self centered teammate. He was also a snitch who formally called out Ty Cobb and Tris Speaker with a letter to Kenesaw Mountain Landis for supposedly throwing a meaningless game in which they stood to make $150. Leonard retreated to his raisin farms in California where he became a millionaire, but never resurfaced in the baseball world to back up his serious claims.

This guy has an exceptional taste in hockey teams

The only people who hate Pete Rose are people in their early twenties that don’t understand his legacy.

Rafael polmero is like the old grandpa of the steroid era. How can you hate him

As for most hated in the last.... decade? Machado, Tatis Jr, Jose Batista, Tim anderson, Young Harper, Chapman, Amir Garrett

Pierzynski nearly single-handedly destroyed the 2004 Giants because he was so hated by his own teammates and coaches

Now ppl hating on my boi altu bae 😆

Manny Machado should definitely be on the next list!

Good video but adjust your eyes. Its uncanny valley when you arent looking at the viewer

my grandpa was a clubhouse manager for a long time with the dodgers and we spent a lot of time around there as kids, jeff kent was always a royal asshole 😂

I'd expect the members of the Blacksox scandal would fall into the most hated category.

Respect for being a ducks fan lol

Is Ryan Braun here?

Dude played 13 more seasons, yet Pete ruined his career!!!! The correct narrative to derive from that situation was Fosse shouldn't have blocked the plate.....

7:00 I heard it was actually Jose's twin brother fighting in his place.

After Jim Bouton published Ball Four, a lot of guys in the league had it out for him. So not disliked in the public eye, but behind the scenes, definitely. Plus, some guys didn't take him seriously 'cause he was a knuckler.

None of the steroid era players deserve HOF, “Steroids don’t make you hit the ball” ok then why did they wait until taking steroids to start playing good

*Canseco won the '88 mvp

I actually went to high school with A-Rod's personal assistant, the girl to his right at 9:02

Giants fan here. Barry Bonds never liked his own fans. Never would take time for fans after games. Go Giants💯⚾

You should at least give Vai Sikahema some kind of credit for his first round knockout of Canseco, you used footage of the man, yet refer to him as a former football player

Curt schilling 😊

I never hated any players. I tend not to have "hatred" for players I don't even know regardless of their public perception as players. I guess I'm weird like that.

And these guys don't care, as long as they have that porsche in the driveway.

Derek Jeter: the myth of a legend

I thought that ted williams would be on here...

You have to have Bud Selig as most hated. Some of the greatest players in history (Bonds, Clemens, etc.) who should be in the Hall won’t be because they’re being thrown under the bus to protect owners and no one is more responsible for this sickening travesty than Bud Selig.

roger clemens and Chris Sale need to be mentioned

Rodger Clemens the way how he went from the Red Sox to the Blue Jays to the Yankees to the Astros and back to the Yankees once again oh and also that time he got into a fued with Mike Piazza in the 2000 World Series is definitely worth talking about

I think Derek Jeter would be on it for some petty reasons.

Big Mac

While not hated as much as anyone on this list I'll throw Chase Utley out there.

Bonds should be in the hall 😤

most loved players rickey henderson

ARod should get some post-career props for owning up to what an a#%hole he was.

Bonds and Rose should be in the hall

I’m on steroids and I can’t hit a 600 ft home run 😢
