Gregg Zaun: A Retraction



Gregg Zaun is the epitome of all that is wrong in sports. If that scowl had a caption, it would read: "I just roided up and am looking to strike someone."

My favorite Gregg Zaun moments: every time he was humiliated trying to throw a runner out at second, and every weak pop fly he hit with runners in scoring position. I once met Laura MacDonald, John MacDonald's wife, during a food drive: one of the first things I asked her was, "where's Gregg Zaun's wife?" Apparently she was hosting the steroid drive down the street.

Zaun's got one of those great names that's pretty much a nickname built in: "Zauner". Unfortunately, I'll be referring to him as "Jerk", "Cheater", or "Douchebag" from now on.

Things were not always this way... my fandom for Cheater was once unparalelled:
