The 2005 Hall of Shame dee-nee-a-thon

[BeeJay]

Damn, even Forrest Gump was smarter than that.

From his HOS entry, I swear I posted the bottom one about getting acquitted because of the low IQ, but I couldn't find the post

Suspended from the Mexican League in 1999 - details are sketchy
Was parading around with OJ Simpson's post-Nicole girlfriend Christine Prodey, apparently on coke binges and having sex. OJ didn't take too kindly to this and called 911 on them. Cops showed up and Prody was arrested, though I'm not sure what happened to Pedro...
Arrested in September of 1999 for trying to buy 33 pounds of cocaine from an undercover agent
Was acquitted of drug conspiracy charges in June of 2002 after his attourney argued his low IQ prevented him from understanding that he agreed to a drug deal. You have got to be shitting me...

Robby Thompson needs an entry:

1986 Giant Robby Thompson sets a major league record when he is thrown out four times trying to steal in the 12-inning 7-6 victory over the Reds.

[Attezz]

July 23, 1991: After Cincinnati pitcher Rob Dibble threw a ball at Cub  Doug Dascenzo and was thrown out of the game, West was bumped by Cubs Andre Dawson in the same game; Dawson was suspended for one game and fined $1000. On the check he wrote to the league, Dawson wrote in the memo "donation to the blind."

Totally forgot Kirby visited my old Depot and made an ass of himself.  Holy shit he was a round dude.

If anyone can find a link to this, they would be the Hero of the Week:

Dwight Gooden, Darryl Strawberry, Lenny Dykstra, Rafael Santana, Tim Teufel, Kevin Mitchell and Howard Johnson

Were among the Mets who recorded the "Super Bowl Shuffle" wannabe track "Get Metsmerized" one game into the 1986 season. It is apparently one of the most unlistenable pieces of junk ever recorded. Santana could barely speak English, Dykstra sounded like he was eating rocks, and Strawberry and Gooden were clearly high. Plus, mastermind George Foster had never thought about giving any proceeds to charity. Teufel calls the final result "unlistenable".

Sample rap lyrics include:

"My name is HoJo, I'm here to say
Our team is going all the way
With pitching, power, speed and style
Results guaranteed to make you smile"

However, it didn't stop Straw from recording his own solo rap single, which is enough for another thread.

strawberry's rapping is the worst thing ever...it makes no sense...the lyrics are a bunch of baseball terms and poor syntax

[TβG]
