Presenting The All-Bastard Athletic Club, comprised of ballplayers possessed with monstrous élan, a flair for savagery on the playing field, or a ravening impact on the National Pastime. It is critical to understand: a Bastard is not a scumbag.

Oops. By Tobias Seamon. Not Tobias Allen, as I said in my title attribute.

I saw this a while back. I still think Ted Williams was unfairly villified by the Boston press and doesn't deserve the honor. If you need a Sox outfielder for the All-Bastard Team, Tris Speaker was a Hall of Famer and member in good standing of the Klan.

You might also consider Albert "Joey" Belle for an outfielder. Allegations of corked bats, alcohol problems, and a penchant for running over trick or treaters make him a strong candidate. Also how about Dan Quizenberry as closer, he once mailed a dead rat to a female reporter because he didn't like having her in the locker room. Good link, thanks.
