For me I am not a fan of the current Houston Astros, and this was before the cheating scandal. I usually like everybody. Just something about that team. btw I am a Red Sox fan.

First player that popped up in my mind isn’t even on the list, Mel Hall.

"Obviously not intentionally"?
It's not likely that Mays considered that Chapman might be killed, but from what I've read it's pretty clear he was throwing at him on purpose. The main evidence to the contrary is that Mays himself blamed Chapman for crowding the plate. Which is a classy move. Obviously. |

LOVE AJ! The catcher on my only White Sox World Series winner. No trophy without him. Don't care who doesn't like him, fans or players, ok in my book.

It would be better to explain the criteria for ranking players since there could be huge variation depending on which demographic is doing the hating - fans, the media, team mates, opposing players, society in general, etc.
Personally I’d be interested in knowing who the players were who were most hated by their own teammates since these are the people who would know them as close co-workers and thus understand them the best. The media can distort or sensationalize incidents that make players look better or worse than they actually are as people, but teammates aren’t going to be swayed by that like fans are. I think a lot of the hate for some of these guys is totally overblown for that reason. Teammates are the only ones who truly know if a guy is an A hole deserving of the hate or not.

I always liked AJ also, I like all players that try hard. I will say as a Astros fan at the time and being at game 2, BLEEP Scott Podsednik.
