October is a time for horror movies, ghastly haunted house characters and dressing up like monsters for Halloween. In no other month are bad guys (and gals) celebrated more than October.
It just so happens this October also comes at the end of the careers of some athletes Baltimore sports fans view as bad guys. Red Sox slugger David Ortiz has certainly been viewed as a villain by many; some Marylanders remain peeved Mark Teixeira spurned his hometown Orioles in favor of the Yankees; and recently retired Yankees star Alex Rodriguez has been vilified by just about everyone.
So for "The 15" this month, I'm taking a look at the top Baltimore sports villains -- both now and all-time.
