Craziest Baseball Players In HISTORY #baseball #mlb #wtf

These are the top 10 weirdest baseball players in history. The bronze medal goes to Doc Ellis, an all-star pitcher in the 60s and 70s for the Pirates. He started drinking at 14 years old, quit his high school baseball team after a teammate called him a slur, and only rejoined after he was caught smoking in the bathroom, and told he would not be expelled as long as he rejoined the team. Ellis claimed he never pitched a game without taking inetamines beforehand, eventually needing to take 70 milligs per game. What he's most famous for though, and where you probably have heard his name, is when he know hit the San Diego Padres's in 1970 while high on psychedelic drug LSD. Evidently, he was visiting some friends, forgot what day it was, and accidentally took the drug in the morning and then had to pitch in the night. He was photographed before a game wearing hair curlers. He later said, "These hair curlers produce extra sweat in his hair, which he was using to throw a spitball." After retiring, he got sober and helped other addicts get sober for the rest of his life. The world's a better place for having him. and you're one of my favorite pitchers of all time. Our runner up to the top spot, barely missing out, is Hall of Famer Rue Wedell. In what could be the most obvious case of undiagnosed ADHD, trust me, I know he was a forgetful man acting on a touring show called The Stain of Guilt during the 1903 season in which he was unable to memorize his lines and would improvise them every night. That same season, he also shot his friend in the hand and was bitten by a lion. He claimed to not even remember how many women he had married, divorcing three times in his life. He was married to his second wife for only a week before abandoning her and putting an ad in the newspaper, searching for an unckissed woman to marry. He died at only 38 years old in 1914, contracting tuberculosis after protecting a small town from a flood the year prior. Like, what did he do? Just hold it back. Either way, Noble. And the number one weirdest baseball player in MLB history is Moberg. We're going to have some music. Moberg. Moleberg was maybe the smartest baseball player in history. He graduated from Princeton, spoke eight languages, including Sanskrit, and after his first MLB season, he sailed to Paris and enrolled in 32 classes there. Berg later went on the 1934 Japanese All-Star tour with Babe Ruth and Lou Garrick, taking a film camera to capture the sights. His involvement with the US government continued after his retirement for baseball where he was sent to South America to monitor the health and fitness of the US troops. He then worked for the Office of Strategic Services to help remotely monitor the war in Yugoslavia. Worked on a project to kidnap Italian missile specialists and traveled to Europe to convince physicists to work for the US. He attended a Heisenberg lecture in Germany to determine if the Germans were close to a bomb and had orders to shoot Heisenberg if he deemed them close enough, which he didn't. They just made him a spy. Oh, this turned into a movie called The Catcher Was a Spy. It all It all makes sense. Where Berg was played by none other than Paul Rudd. It's safe to say that MLB has had its fair share of weirdos over the
