Gary Sheffield was spouting off in the press against Fausto Carmona and Victor Martinez in the Indians/Tiger series following Friday night's brawl in Cleveland. Why would Carmona hit Sheffield on purpose? The Indians were losing the game at that point!

Other crybabies:

Terrell Owens
Milton Bradley
Mike Tyson
Paul O'Neill

Who do you think are the biggest crybabies in sports? Not just athletes, but also coaches, managers, agents, etc.

You know, I never realized how scary-looking Gary Sheffield really is until I saw the video of the brawl (I'd missed the game). :eek:

I don't think Jeff Kent is a crybaby lol but I guess he's on the fence as far as that goes...

I've seen him whining several times on TV...a few times while he played with the Indians back in 1996. :lol:

I forgot about him on the Indians lol. Alright, you are right. I always picture his fights with Bonds lol. I'd put Manny Ramirez on the list, he just seems like a crybaby player that wants his way or no way. He wouldn't cut his hair and Torre had to deal with it, not Manny having to deal with Torre not liking it, it was backwards lol.

Manny was always very quiet when he played with the Indians. Then he started to become a lot more vocal (usually whining) with Boston and now LA. Yes, Allen Iverson is a crybaby, too - and so is LeBron James. He may play for my hometown, but his attitude has always rubbed me the wrong way - going back to his high school days.

Yeah I was sort of thinking of Lebron too. Paul Pierce, I'm going to say he's a crybaby and cocky at the same time. He thought he was the best player ever just because they won a ring, when they could barely beat Cleveland and Atlanta of all teams lol.

Paul Lo Duca, he complains more then most baseball players I know. David Wright is the same way, along with Reyes.

Notice Gary Sheffield's bloody nose!!! :eek: He was booed soundly by the Cleveland crowds the remainder of the series every time he came up to bat. :rofl:

It'll be interesting to see what sort of punishments are handed down - probably won't take effect until the beginning of next season. Even longer, if the players decide to appeal (which they probably will). OY!!!! :eek:

I just remember seeing him in interviews where he would be complaining and whining about something or other. That was years ago, so I can't remember any particulars.

Here's another to add to the crybaby list - Jose Mesa, after leaving the Indians. He ripped Omar Vizquel up one side and down the other after Omar's book came out a few years ago. He also made sure to hit him every time Omar came up to bat. :eek: It was a pretty ugly situation.

Wreckless
09-22-2008, 02:02 PM
Yeah I remember that :lol:. What did Vizquel say about him that's so bad? lol. This isn't a player but Jim Mora is another. He wouldn't shut up about Michael Vick when his son was coaching the Falcons a couple years back. The whole playoffs thing, while it is funny, is stupid, annoying and childish. He has said or done a couple other things, mostly in his press conferences that were on the same playing field.

He said that Jose Mesa's eyes were "vacant" or something to that effect when he blew the save that cost Cleveland the 1997 World Series. (I was watching that game on TV - his eyes WERE vacant). Then Mesa would always make it a point to hit (or attempt to hit) Omar every time they faced each other. What a whiner. :crybaby:

Sorry but I agree. When the Cavs got to the finals, they were all glorified. The Spurs were a great team. When the 76ers went to the finals in 2000 vs. the Lakers, I wanted to win it. Well I wanted the Sixers to but you know what I mean. Philly, Chicago and Cleveland need to win in the next three years. Forget New York and Boston for once. Tampa Bay is getting in on the act in baseball.

Yeah I remember him hitting him :lol: . That's not even that bad to say. If somebody said my eyes were vacant, I'd say, ok? lol. It's not like your calling them a horrible player or something even worst to that extent.

We should transform this thread into people in sports we don't like :lol:.

Kobe Bryant is another whiner/crybaby. He cries after every call on him, same with Iverson.

On the hockey front, there was 3 superstars that easily come to mind

Wayne (yes i tripped you, but, dont trip me back cause youll get the penalty) Gretzky
Eric (I want to play only where I want to go) Lindross
and worst of all, Brett (No one passes me the puck... I'm the star, so kiss my butt) Hull

Thankfully, all three are retired now, and i no longer need to hear them whining

Yeah, but they were only down by 2 runs in the 7th inning. That's a situation where as a pitcher you especially don't want to get a runner on base. That's just my opinion. :lol:

I agree with you but it sounds like you don't like those players on top of it lol. Lindros and his father were definitely crybabies and the father particularly needed to keep his mouth shut :lol:. Wayne was a crybaby because he was so used to getting his way, that he thought he could get it through the refs s well. While we're mentioning hockey, Sidney Crosbey, not just in hockey, is one of the biggest crybabies in sports, maybe ever. Mark me on that one :lol:. The Flyers see him a good amount each year, and he's an annoying little piss lol..on top of being a crybaby little kid.
