Joe Maddon's nickname should be "Weird Wuss."  As it turns out all of these years later, Davey Johnson nailed that description.  Maddon has the perfectly irritating mix of arrogance and b*tchiness, that just makes you want to give him a wedgie and tell him to fetch your slippers.

There are very few things the whole board agrees on. I submit these to you: The uniforms for players weekend are ugly as sin and Madden is indeed an irritating motherfreaker.

No mention of Parra in here.  Who came up with this first?
Elvis Andrus was the first to use Baby Shark as a walk up song

I love that the uniforms probably went through months of approvals/designs by a ton of people at MLB and yet they were immediately panned as total disasters. Way to go, corporate suits!

Those white uniforms made it impossible to read the nickname of the player - regardless of which team
