Obviously guys like John Rocker or Barry Bonds are true villains for off the field stuff ... but in terms of active players, JD Drew might be the most hated player in the game.
Consider ...
-Phillies fans hate him for refusing to play for them after being drafted #1 overall.
-Cardinals fans hate him for being an overpaid bust.
-Braves fans hate him because they traded Adam Wainwright's career for a season of him, hoping he'd re-sign with the hometown team, and after putting up a career year he cashed in with (edit-Los Angeles) Boston.
-Red Sox fans generally hate him for being overpaid and always being hurt.
That is four of the bigger fan bases in the game who just outright hate this guy, purely for baseball reasons. It's hard to top that hatred.
