Everything, Anything, Everyone.
Brilliant thread idea, btw.
I'll tell you what really fries my noodle: Ronnie Belliard's kryptonite-like aversion to runners-on-base.
In fact, I think I'll call it Belliard Syndrome: the presence of men on base and/or numbers on the stadium box score sign cause involuntary spasms of the shoulders and upper arms. If there are men on base, or it is late in the game, these spasms can cause a normally powerful hitter to suddenly become a ground-ball specialist. Now, the presence of men on base is the far more powerful of the two factors because, for instance, if it is late in the game but there is no one on base, the patient is still able to boom a meaningless home run that has no effect on the outcome. But in that scenario, if the tying run is on base, pop-fly. Worse still, if the tying run is on base and there is only one out, the patient will instantly ground into a double play.

Question marks make me mad.
They look weird.
