Top 10 WEIRDEST Baseball Players In History #baseball #mlb #wtf

These are the top 10 weirdest baseball players in history. At number eight, we have Mark Fedrrich, the 1976 Rookie of the Year and two-time all-star for the Detroit Tigers. He was nicknamed the bird when one of his minor league coaches told him that he looked like Sesame Street character Big Bird. Yeah, I see it. The Bird had his own weird routine on the mound, talking to himself and the ball constantly preparing his own mound by patting down the dirt and digging his footooth hole with his hands. After his retirement, Fedri would show up on Monday Night Baseball as a guest commentator. And to the uh surprise of probably not very many people, he had no idea what he was doing and didn't know any of the players that he was supposed to talk about. Look, in his defense, this thing's kind of hard. It's really hard to watch 15 games every day. In a more somber turn of events, the bird eventually passed away after he got himself trapped under his own dump truck when he was working on it. Uh, I don't know how to react to that. At number seven is Kevin Roberg, who only played 41 games in his major league career. >> Man, he must have been in some crazy stuff to get on this list. He had a ton of weird compulsions, mainly that he needed to touch every person that touched him. If he was unable to touch someone back, he would send them a letter that said, "This constitutes a touch." Another compulsion was he refused to make right turns on a baseball field. Meaning that if a ball was hit to his right, he turned to the left and made a full circle to get the ball. This might be why he didn't play for very long. Number six is another top tier name. Meet Phenomenal Smith. Born as John Francis Gammon, who was only 5'6 and had 12 children. That's oddly specific. The nickname came in 1885 when he threw a no hitter against Baltimore and struck out 16. After that game, he made everyone call him phenomenal. So, if you're keeping track at home, they didn't give him the nickname. He gave him the nickname. Those are the best kinds. A few months later, he was traded to the Brooklyn Gays, where he told his new teammates that he was so good, he didn't actually need any fielders to back him up. This led to everyone working together to make 14 errors and lose the game. Each fielder was then fined $500 each. These fines were ultimately removed from the players and just given to Smith because it's his fault.
