Baseball Player

The Resume

Why he might be annoying:

    He wore the 'hockey goalie' style catcher's mask in the back half of his career.
    He, along with C.J. Nitkowski and Doug Brocail, were either traded for or with each other in the trades between the Tigers and Astros.
    Between 1996 and 2001, he bounced back and forth between the Astros and the Tigers franchises.
    He was unable to play for the baseball team at Dartmouth, due to signing a pro contract before attending the university.
    He was fired by the Angels after one season, which some pundits felt was due to the team's desire to hire Joe Maddon, when the latter became available.

Why he might not be annoying:

    As of 2019, he is the league leader in games played amongst Jewish players.
    He served as a bullpen catcher and volunteer coach for the baseball team at Dartmouth.
    He was considered one of the top defensive catchers in the game by baseball pundits.
    He was the first catcher in nearly 90 years to play in a World Series game that attended an Ivy League school (2005).
    He served as the manager for the Israeli team at the World Baseball Classic (2017).
