One of the Cincinnati Reds’ “Nasty Boys” bullpen that helped the team win the 1990 World Series, Dibble had a reputation for being one of the most intimidating — and downright angriest — pitchers of his era. Dibble clashed with manager Lou Piniella, with the two getting into a high-profile dugout fight.

Dibble also got into a fight with Mets infielder Gregg Jefferies in a memorable dust-up. After his playing career, Dibble carried his combative attitude into sports broadcasting, where controversial comments got him fired from a role as an analyst for the Washington Nationals.
