Who was your favorite scrub player when you were young?

My two favorite players on the 1993 Phillies were Wes Chamberlain and Mickey Morandini.

I remember the Phillies re-acquiring Morandini from the Cubs for cash in maybe 1997, and thinking he was the missing piece necessary for the Phils to finally get back to the playoffs

I loved watching him play. Of course it was the end of his career when I really enjoyed him.

One time he was on Jay Leno and they asked him what his favorite food was:

"Double Cheeseburgers with extra mayonnaise."

Baseball: Randy Bush, backup outfielder for the Twins in the late 80s early 90s. Played with the Twins for 12 straight seasons and never had more then 394 ABs. His best year was 1991, the year the Twins won their 2nd WS, he only batted 165 times and had an OPS+ of 140 (OPS = .886)

In football my favorite, still one of my all-time favorite players, was Chris Walsh. He is a white WR who played for the Vikings from 1994-2002 pretty much playing exclusively on special teams. Over those years he amassed an amazing 67 receptions! His big year was in 2000 when he caught 18 passes in 12 games for 191 yards.

Walsh's problem was that he was at the wrong position. He had good hands but he wasn't the fastest guy around. I think he might have been a good SS because at 194, the weight at which he played receiver, he was one of the hardest hitters in the NFL. He was a special teams super star, the Vikings special teams captain for 5+ years.

In a 1997 (I think) Vikings year in review tape, when they had a top 5 hits of the year, Walsh was #1 and #2. Both hits came on offense, in the same game against the same CB. He knocked the guy out of the game for a few series in the 1st quarter and did the same thing again in the 3rd.

Only rule, no saying Yaz, or Jim Palmer or some other stud, it has to be a player who was decent or worse.


For me it was always Steve Sax. I even got my grandma to buy me his Dodgers jersey. Must have been 1987 or so.
