Re: Worst career starts (and finishes)
numerous guys have homered on the first pitch they saw in the big leagues (Will Clark comes to mind)
Andruw Jones homered in his first 2 WS ABs the year before his rookie year (i think)

That's pretty cool. He's the only player to do that.

Re: Worst career starts (and finishes)
The ignominious end to Jerry Rice, Dave Andreychuk, and Steve Carlton come to mind.
Rice was basically cut from the Broncos' training camp after an entirely forgettable stint with the Seattle Seahawks. Andreychuk was waived mid-season as the captain of the defending Stanley Cup champion Tampa Bay Lightning - he hung on one season too long, and was forced into retirement. Steve Carlton pitched horribly for the Minnesota Twins. Some players just don't know when to let go. Every time the Yankees play the Tigers, they reshow Marcus Thames hitting his first major league pitch into the seats, off Randy Johnson.
