Evil Player

The Evil Player program selected Javier Vazquez as Sunday’s evil player. As far as I can tell, Javier only becomes evil when he plays for the Yankees, sort of like the King Tut character on the old Batman TV series. He was a professor of antiquities, but once in a while he would get bonked on the head and turn into a super criminal. Javy owns a 4.98 ERA with New York, mostly due to his giving up a ton of home runs, 33.7 per 200 innings. On top of that, opponents hit .290 against him in his time in New York with runners in scoring position, versus .251 overall. That leaves fans with the impression that he crumbles under pressure, making evil in their eyes.
