Why he might be annoying:

    His middle name is Eugene.
    He suffered a back injury in a game against the Seattle Mariners which caused him to miss a lot of the remainder of the 1977 season.
    He stole Dennis Eckersley's wife Denise to marry her and the marriage ended in a divorce after a short time.
    His romantic relationship with Eckersley's wife Denise led to Eckersley to get traded from the Indians along with Fred Kendall to the Boston Red Sox before the start of the 1978 season.
    He married twice.
    He was booed for the game winning RBI in a game against his former Indians team that kept Paul Molitor from a chance to have a 40-game hitting streak (August 26, 1987).

Why he might not be annoying:

    He batted left-handed.
    His great defensive fielding in the 1976 season resulted him being the 4th player in the history of the Indians/Guardians to win a Gold Glove.
    He was the catcher who closed out a game that helped Len Barker toss a perfect game.
    Paul Molitor congratulated him for the game winning RBI as Molitor realized that the game victory was important.
    He is among one of the longest serving broadcasters in the history of the Indians/Guardians.
    He was a best friend to Dennis Eckersley.
