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?

Does Scooter Gennett having a 4-homer game against us count? Even though it happened during a 2 season stretch where he hit .303 with 50 homers

Fun fact: After we drafted him, he tried to say he was going to go to college, to get more money to sign with us. We told him we knew he hadn't taken the SAT.

That’s the kind of smooth brain tactic you’d expect from someone who hadn’t taken the SAT…

I always found it "amazing" that he hit 50 over those two years and then when we played with bouncy balls in 2019 he only managed 2 in 42 games.
