Major League Baseball’s All-Time All-Ugly Team
Posted July 29, 2008

You know, I’m really sick of hearing women talk about how hot Derek Jeter and David Wright are. If only they could see the uglier side of sports. While all athletes these days are rich, some sure aren’t easy on the eyes. Sad thing is, they still probably pull more tail than the average guy. But I can’t imagine any sane woman mingling with one of these guys. So without further ado, I present to you my version of Major League Baseball’s All-Time All-Ugly Team…

Position Players
C   Andy Etchebarren – Thankfully wore a mask the majority of his time on the playing field.
1B  Darrell Evans – Rumored to have walked into a window screen at high speed while playing “Pin the Tail on the Donkey” as a child.
2B  Davey Johnson – Pretty scary even without the mustache.
SS  Davey Concepcion -- Prototypical shortstop, prototypical face for the All-Ugly Team.
*Note: Davey Johnson + Davey Concepcion = Sloth from The Goonies. Some double-play combination.
3B  Jorge Cantu – If only his wild facial hair could cover his entire mug.
OF  Otis Nixon – Great times in the 40-yard dash. Looks like it was inside a 20-yard room.
OF  Willie McGee – The picture speaks for itself.
OF  Hideki Matsui – Almost as frightful as the real Godzilla.
DH  David Ortiz – Bears a striking resemblance to Ester Rolle of Good Times.
 
Pitching Staff
SP  Don Mossi – Retired the year before Etchebarren became a regular starter, thankfully sparing baseball fans from viewing the ‘ugliest’ of matchups.
SP  Bartolo Colon – Can easily pass for a bloated toad.
SP  Randy Johnson – Perhaps another member of the animal kingdom – part ostrich?
SP  Pascual Perez – Pretty bad when Melido Perez is the good-looking sibling.
SP  Fernando Valenzuela – Deadly screwball with looks that could kill. Literally.
SP  Zane Smith – So ugly we added a sixth spot to the rotation.      
RP  Ezequiel Astacio – Perhaps the ugliest man in all of sports history.
 
RP  Julian Tavarez – As a child, thought he would be an adult movie star if he couldn’t be
baseball player. That sound you heard was a mass sigh of relief from female porn stars
everywhere.
 
RP  Jesse Orosco – Closed out the ’86 NLCS and World Series BUT…still ugly.

RP 
Craig McMurtry – Teamed up with Smith on the Braves.
 
RP  Bob Walk – Was primarily a starter, but too much depth in this rotation.

 

Coaching Staff

Manager: Joe Torre

Bench Coach: Don Zimmer

Pitching Coach: Bob Apodaca 

Honorable mention: Jack Wilson (SS), Damion Easley (2B), Kent Tekulve (RP), Benito Santiago (C), John Lackey (SP).

 

The Braves seem to be the most common home for the esthetically challenged with six players on the list. The Pirates have four players on the roster, not including the three honorable mentions. Zane Smith, Pascual Perez and Julian Tavarez actually played for both teams during their illustrious careers!

 
Well there ya have it. The NBA All-Ugly team coming soon!!

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and true beauty comes from within. I am a female and I must say that some of the best people I ever met would never be a fahion model. How cruel this post. tsk tsk.  I must say you poster are number one on my list of ugly people. Ugly is as ugly does!  A broken nose for defending your Mother's honor with no medical insurance would make you a poor site or if perhaps you went and fought in a WAR for your country and came home disfigured would make you a poor site and many more circumstances can change the cover but the book remains the same. I sometimes think the manly looking men are truely the more handsome men among all. If there is an imperfection it is in YOU poster and all that agree with you here. tsk tsk I see none of my friends are here thank goodness! Thanks to others who defend agains this awful post!

And, imagine if you saw some of these guys after a surgery: bleacherreport.com/articles/42841-the-darkside-of-sport-surgery-and-recovery

Julian Tavarez looks like he's thinking about causing an Amber Alert.

Good Stuff!!!!  Though I think that Coco Crisp should be added to the honorable mentions, at least for his ugly rush to the mound, no?

Wow. Is there any truth to the rumor that all of these players were once on the Celtics roster in the mid-'80s?

I remember watching Otis Nixon as a kid when he was with the Braves and thinking he was the oldest man in the history of MLB. He was jut in his early 30s, looking older than Julio Franco does now.

Willie McGee looks like he just got out of a fight. I remember him being like 80 pounds soaking wet.

I personally don't find Derek Jeter as hot as every woman makes him out to be. But that's neither here nor there. The point is......you successfully got me to STOP eating my breakfast while reading this blog. Keep it up. This could be the new weight loss craze!
