Catcher
Ernie Lombardi - Nickname was "Schnozz."

First Base
Moose Skowron - Part of a long line of ugly-ass Yankee 1Bs, including Steve Balboni, Cliff Johnson and, for that matter, Jason Giambi.

Second Base
Eddie Collins - Was supposed to have been one of the ugliest players of his era (also one of the best 2B ever), though I don't think this photo does him justice.

Third Base
Doug Rader - Hate to say it, but they didn't have The Red Rooster out there for his looks.

Shortstop
Rabbit Maranville - Made Bill James' all-ugly team

Left Field
George Foster - He could hit a ton, but up close, yech. . .

Center Field
Otis Nixon - Good lord, he was ugly. Great CF, though, and always got the chicks.

Right Field (tie)
Dante "B-Fat" Bichette and Ryan "Donut Truck" Klesko - Monumentally ugly, just repulsive in every way

Starting Pitcher
Mike LaCoss - Another former Astro. Mike LaCoss in a rainbow gut was truly something to see.

Bullpen
Julian Tavarez - Ugly and insane. Nice combination.

Kent Tekulve - I think his looks (he was 6' 4" and weighed about 150 lbs.) distracted hitters.

Don Mossi - I think this was the guy Jim Bouton described as looking like a taxi cab going down the street with its doors open.

Tekulve looks like Beakers (Pence!!!) dad.

Gary Gaetti was no male model.

Don't forget Yogi.
He was described as having a face like a fallen souffle.

Not quite true: I suspect he was the model for the Geico cavemen.

He also appears to be wearing Gorilla Monsoon's glasses...

To the rescue.

Although Little Joe might give him a run for the money.

Those are some big spaceships parked on either side of his head.

I'm giving you special Honorable Mention consideration for the Gorilla Monsoon reference!

Yep. Even uglier without a cap.

Tekulve and O. Nixon

I never regarded Otis Nixon as being particularly ugly. I just always wondered how he managed, physically, to pair the face of a 70-something chain smoker with the body of an athletic 30-something OF.

I was going to nominate Mickey Rivers, but when I went and looked at some of his photos, he's just not in the same class as these guys.

Of course, if you're talking about ugly throwing motions...
