Dave Kingman

Former Oakland A's outfielder Dave Kingman wasn't pleased after being criticized by Sacramento Bee reporter Susan Fornoff during the 1986 MLB season. In a gesture of payback, Kingman gift-wrapped a live rat and tagged it with the label "My name is Sue." He delivered it to Fornoff before Oakland's game against the Kansas City Royals. MLB officials weren't pleased about that, tagging Kingman with a $3,500 fine in return.
