Pitcher Brett Myers helped the Phillies win the 2008 World Series, but he cultivated a disturbing reputation for anger and violence both on and off the field. He once berated a reporter in the clubhouse and had to be physically separated from the confrontation, in addition to other on-field outbursts and arguments with coaches and teammates.
In the biggest black mark against Myers, he was arrested in 2006 for assaulting his wife in public after reportedly punching her outside a Boston bar. The charges were later dropped, but they didn’t help his reputation.
