Baseball Primer Newsblog— The Best News Links from the Baseball Newsstand
Wednesday, October 17, 2012
Only seven? I thought the whole world was out to get them.
So, what are the odds — if the Cardinals beat San Francisco in the NLCS — that Matt Holliday will be a “villain” to Giants fans? Pretty good, is my guess. Heck, if the Redbirds hadn’t beaten SF in ‘87, Jeff “One Flap Down” Leonard and Chili “Cow Town” would be eternal enemies to Cardinal Nation.
To be sure, there are still a few names that bring back painful memories among the Redbird faithful.

That was a lot of fun to go back and read!
That would have been a good villain. I think most of these choices were somewhat lame. I can see Denkinger/Twins Stadium/Jimmy Fallon....beyond that, the rest as mentioned were just people having a good series. That isn't a villain. A villain is someone who does an action (see Holliday's slide) that upsets the fanbase in some reason, it helps if they also then have a good series, but that isn't really necessary.
