Most Unlikable Baseball Player Tournament - Round 4, Heat 4 (The Hated Eight)
 
Please vote for the player you dislike the most in each heat. Feel free to give reasons (words, pictures, videos, etc.) why this player is unlikable, as it may not always be immediately evident and you may persuade others to join in your disdain of douchey players. Two players who advanced from the first three rounds will be chosen randomly for each heat, and the winner of each heat will go to the Final Four.

ROUND 4, HEAT 4 (THE HATED EIGHT)

Alex Rodriguez (Mariners, Rangers, Yankees)
http://a.fssta.com/content/dam/fsdig...64.high.10.jpg
Unlikable Traits:
- Apparently likes to kiss himself in the mirror.
- Known steroid user who continues to maintain his innocence.
- Has received two of the largest contracts in the history of sports and spent a good chunk of them suspended for steroid use or injured.
- Apparently wants to keep every home run ball he ever hits and bribes fans to get them (I witnessed this in person when he hit a homer at the K last year. Someone a few feet away from me caught it and some security guards came and said Rodriguez was offering him a signed bat or basically whatever he wanted for the ball. This was not even a landmark home run - it was like #672 or something).
- His ex claims that he had not one, but two portraits of himself as a centaur in his home.
- Cheated on his wife with Madonna.
- Slapped Bronson Arroyo's glove while he was trying to tag him out in the 2004 ALCS.
- Sent a ball boy to ask for women's phone numbers in the crowd during the 2012 ALCS.
- Yelled "I got it!" while running past an infielder on a pop-up in 2007.

Brett Lawrie (Blue Jays, A's, White Sox)
http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_R9ZmVXtkEQ...t-Lawrie-1.jpg
Unlikable traits:
- Is the ultimate "bro."
- Douchey player is attracted to douchey teams - has played for Blue Jays, A's, and White Sox.
- Involved in multiple brawls and altercations on the field. Videos forthcoming.
- Seems to have a bad case of roid rage.
- Seriously thinks it's cool to have fangs in his mouth while he plays baseball.
- Called his high school P.E. teacher a "big baby" who has "0 class" on Twitter because he let a star basketball player, Brent Malish, take more shots than Lawrie. This well-constructed insult happened seven years later, when Lawrie was already a professional athlete and was apparently still upset that he wasn't the star basketball player in 10th grade.
- Malish's uncle came to his defense on Twitter, Lawrie told him to "go play on Facebook" and called him a douche.
Story about Lawrie still bitching about high school basketball when he's a Major League baseball player: https://www.vice.com/en_ca/read/bret...-school-sports
- Threw his helmet at an umpire because he didn't like a strike call. Was suspended four games. After the game, he said, "it took a bad hop and it hit him totally by accident. I never meant to throw it at him." See video below and judge for yourself.

Lawrie is almost the exact definition of the term douchebag. He fits the title more than any player in this contest. The difference between him and a guy like Bautista, is you have to actually witness Bautista's behavior to realize he's a douchebag. With Lawrie, you can just see it when you look at him.

This is so true. Bautista will win this because he is so hated here(rightfully so)but Lawrie is the biggest "true douche"

Wow, Lawrie is destroying Rodriguez so far. I figured he'd probably win, but I thought it would be a lot closer.

Props to the OP creator. Really one of the best laid out backgrounds in a poll I've seen on here.

I hope it's not a blowout win for Bautista. I hate Bautista for sure, but I hate Lawrie way, way more. It's not even close.

I know I'm voting for Lawrie if he makes it to the final.

Me too. Based on the fact that he's slaughtering Alex Rodriguez here, I'd say he has a pretty decent shot.
