Why he might be annoying:

His middle name was Shirley.
There are several theories as to how he got his famed nickname; a common one is that it came from the player's own stuttering problem whenever he said his last name.
He was benched for nearly half the 1927 season because of a dispute with Pirates manager Donie Bush; going on to miss out on his own team's World Series win.
The restaurant he owned and operated out of his home - known as Ki Cuyler's Bar & Grill - was permanently closed after a mysterious fire destroyed the property (December 2018).

Why he might not be annoying:

He was one of six children.
He was part-Canadian on his father's side.
He became the only player in MLB history to hit for the cycle, get a walk and steal a base in one game (June 4, 1925).
He led the 1925 Pirates to a World Series title, the only one of his career.
He led the Cubs to the National League pennant in 1932, although they were swept in the World Series 4-0.
He was one of the few Baseball greats not to abuse his body through the use of tobacco/alcohol, keeping himself in shape by hunting and fishing during the off-season.
He is referenced in a famous episode of Leave it to Beaver, in which Beaver destroys a baseball of Ward's autographed by Cuyler - not to mention Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig. ('Kiki - that sounds like a fan dancer!')
