WV23's Most Popular
At Least Edmonds Won't Be As Unpopular As Hundley
Written by wrigleyville   
Thursday, 15 May 2008
Short of OJ Simpson, I'm not sure Jim Hendry could have signed anyone less popular with Cubs fans than Jim Edmonds.

But Edmonds is going to have to work very, very hard to be the least popular player to play for the Cubs. That title belongs solely and unmistakably to Todd Hundley. A quick recap:

On my 30th birthday, Hundley signed a four-year, $23.5 million deal after putting together back-to-back 24-homer, high-average, injury-shortened seasons. He was the son of a popular former Cub. He was a two-time All Star. He had once hit 41 home runs in a season.

What could go wrong?

Everything.

He played a grand total of 171 games over two seasons, batted .187 in 2001 and .211 in 2002 (which is just .187 and .211 higher than what I hit those two seasons). What he lacked in production he made up for in jackassery.

The most notable thing he ever did in Chicago was get caught flipping of fans after he hit a (rare) home run.

Hire Jim Essian named him the worst Cub ever, which may actually have been overly generous.

And, in the end, he was named in the Mitchell Report. Good times.

So, Jim, welcome to Chicago. And whatever happens, please know that you are - and always will be - more popular than Todd Hundley.
