In 1963 Jim Bunning went 12-13 for the Detroit Tigers. That year he also posted a .997 asshole rating, beating Tiger slugger Ty Cobb’s “unbeatable” team record of .996 set in 1918, the year he slapped a black elevator operator for “being uppity”. It’s notable, that the 3rd highest season rating of only .896 is held by Kirk Gibson, who took a pre-game dump in Bobby Higgenson’s batting helmet while shouting “1988 bitches,” before every game of the 1995 season. Bunning went on to great success with the Phillies, was inducted to the baseball hall of fame and can be seen today “taking this douchebag stuff to a whole other level” in the US Senate.
