Carl Everett

From Wiki Gonzalez

Carl Everett (born 1971) is a well-traveled outfielder who has played with the Marlins, Astros, Mets, White Sox, Expos, Rangers, and most memorably, the Red Sox. In 2006, he joined the Mariners.

Everett is known for his temper on and off the field (he was charged with child abuse on one occasion -- not the result of his temper, but for allowing his wife to harshly discipline their children), and for his unique perspective on dinosaurs.

In thirty years, he'll be described in books as "colorful" and "a character." He is what Rube Waddell would've been, had Waddell had alcohol counseling.
