The Resume

    (April 28, 1960-December 19, 2022)
    Pitched for Cincinnati Reds (1985-1993)
    Pitched perfect game against Los Angeles Dodgers in 1988

Why he might be annoying:

    For a big league pitcher, it's pretty sad that his fastball rarely topped 85 MPH.
    His perfect game was delayed by 2 hours by rain. As a result, less than 10,000 of the original 45,000 paying fans that night stayed around to see the game.
    In 1993, he was pulled over after his vehicle was weaving in and out of lanes. When the officer approached the window, the smell of marijuana reeked throughout the car.
    He gave the lame old 'it's my friend's pot and I took it away from him and am going to throw it away' excuse.
    He suffered a brutally painful sports injury on television, when he broke his arm during the delivery of a pitch to home plate.

Why he might not be annoying:

    He is left handed.
    As a rookie in 1985, he won 20 games.
    His perfect game had the fewest pitches thrown of any of baseball's perfect games.
    His screwball was compared to that of Hall of Famer Carl Hubbell.
