'Cause I do. Hate it. (Yes, I realize it's what got Jim Edmonds on the list of top 50 catches--twice, even--but that hill is a crime against baseball.) I hate it.

Yes, Tito Landrum hit well in his place, but as I stated on VEB, I still believe to this day that we would have won the '85 WS if Coleman had been playing and running the basepaths, even with Don freakin' Denkinger out there.

For just being the forehead growing, personal gear toting, they aren't worthy of my wonderful self's time guy that he is. For being a lousy teammate in a quintessential team sport. And for that infuriating cocky way he'd stand at the plate and watch his obviously juiced home run ball get half way out of the park before he took off around the bases.

While I agree there's a difference between Cardinal-killers and players I hate, I think considering the nature of the thread being purely a Cardinal one, that all those who make the list should have damaged the Cardinals in some capacity. Therefore, while I agree that Derek Lee is an upstanding guy, I hate him for crushing the Cards. Thanks for pointing that out Matt.

I understand that the man's career might be over, but that guy has done everything in his power to ruin cardinal baseball. No hustle to speak of, not at all interested in being a fan favorite, and just an overall tool. He has two rings, but has not attended a celebration parade yet. If i saw a ball hit to the right field corner, I would just cringe. Juan had the ability to gun them, but no desire to as he just jogged his way to the ball. While I cannot wish a foul ball to hit anyone at all, if it were any Cardinal, He would be my choice. Juan Encarnacion!

Jim Leyritz is quite a DB, as well. Is there any possible shortstop to even consider beyond Bucky “Bleepin’” Dent?!

You're welcome to do that, but keep in mind the request was not for Cardinal killers, but for our "least favorite player(s)", and that's the question most people seem to be answering. For example, despite his team and his success, I can't bring myself to hate much on Derek Lee, who seems like a decent guy who Plays The Game Right(tm).
