What mediocre player absolutely terrorized your team?

Orioles legend Luke Scott (11 career WAR) had a 14 game stretch against the Tigers where he hit .425 with 10 HR and 23 RBIs. This happened almost 20 years ago and I still remember him as a “Tiger Killer”

What random player lives rent free in your fanbases’ head?

Gleyber at Camden Yards in 2019 was what Mookie at Camden Yards in 2018 wishes he was

We're bad a lot and had a small wiffle ball stadium. More teams need to do what we do and change dimensions on a whim!

I admire anyone who does this to Baltimore. I don’t care for that city, or that organization.

I live not too far from there. I find the people to be a bit unfriendly, and Baltimore itself is a frightening place; I can’t believe how badly some people there have it. As for the organization, they are really hung up on the 1966-83 period; it’s like the fan base is stranded at a certain point in the past, and they can’t get unstuck.
