The Resume

    Greatest home run hitter in major league baseball (755)
    Played for the Milwaukee/Atlanta Braves and Milwaukee Brewers

Why he might be annoying:

    He did commercials for Magnavox.
    He is a vegetarian.
    He ended the 1973 season with a career 713 home runs, just one shy of tying the record and keeping the suspense going throughout the off season.
    Despite hitting 755 home runs, he only led the league four times.

Why he might not be annoying:

    Racial death threats could not deter him from breaking the home run record.
    One such letter he received read: 'Dear Nigger Henry, You are (not) going to break this record established by the great Babe Ruth if I can help it. ... Whites are far more superior than jungle bunnies. . My gun is watching your every black move.'
    He tied Babe Ruth with 714 on his first at bat in 1974.
    He hit 715 home runs on April 8, 1974.
    He once said 'The pitcher has got only a ball. I've got a bat.
    So the percentage in weapons is in my favor.'
