I may be hoarding too much 80's junk wax but I like it!
Roberto Alomar. I think his one incident places him in the top 10.

Agree with Alomar. I wonder if this incident affected his HOF voting. I know he got in with a high % but I wonder if his vote % would have been even higher without this incident.
Also agree with Dave Kingman.

Not sure if this classifies as a bitcher, but i can remember back in the early 70's when Giants' shortstop, Chris Speier, would fling his bat some 20 to 30 feet when he struckout. Unfortunately for him, he got plenty of practice.

Saw a quote from an umpire once that said something to the effect of: "Paul O'Neill thinks no pitcher has ever thrown him a strike he didn't swing at. Ever."
It did; many of the voters admitted they withheld their vote from him his first year due to it. They felt he did not deserve to be a first-ballot inductee, solely because of what he did. They then voted him in the following year.
There surely were voters who withheld their vote from him in his 2nd year also.

Barry Bonds was certainly a pain in the ass...
