You think Donald Trump hates the media? Dave Kingman once sent a dead rat to a reporter. Just the type of guy you want to share a clubhouse with. Well, not really, which is why Kingman played for seven teams in a 13-year career that saw the surly giant win two home run crowns. Despite his high, towering home runs, Kingman was seen as more of a cartoon character than a good ballplayer. He was such a clubhouse cancer that he was traded three teams during one season and played for one team from each of baseball’s four divisions in the 1977 season.
