How about all time pain in the BUTT.
:bad-ass:
Yeah, hate kinda is strong. Go with what makes you happy.
1. Jason Giami - though he is more recent.
adios joe!
Actually, I suggested an All-Time rival team for various key days. Such as, the best opponents the Yankees faced in the AL in 1961.
But this is interesting. Who did I hate the most. Besides Gary Carter and the 1986 Mets?
Fisk, of course. Bill Lee. Brett. Bob Welch (Reggie in '78). Pete Rose without a doubt in 1976. Most of the Reds, and Joe Morgan.
Others, no doubt. I'll give it some thought. . .
The Red Sox of The Forties.
The Indians of The Fifties
Just about everyone in the late 60`s Especially Baltimore
The Royals in the 70`s
The Red Sox & Blue Jays,A`s in the 80`s
The Blue Jays Indians & The Red Sox in the 90`s
C- Mike Piazza
1B - Rafael Palmiero
2B - Julio Franco
SS - Ripken, Jr.
3B - George Brett
CF - Griffey (although I respect the man immensely)
RF - Joey Belle
LF - Geronimo Berroa
DH - Edgar Martinez
SP - Teddy Higuera
RP - Dennis Eckersley
"We understand that John Henry must be embarrassed, frustrated and disappointed by his failure in this transaction. Unlike the Yankees, he chose not to go the extra distance for his fans in Boston. It is understandable, but wrong that he would try to deflect the accountability for his mistakes on to others and to a system for which he voted in favor. It is time to get on with life and forget the sour grapes."
Mike Caldwell (Brewers) comes to mind. As I recall, he liked to plunk Reggie and started a couple of memorable fights. Reggie usually just homered off him after a plunking.
