"In a Men�s Journal survey of 100 Major League Baseball players, White Sox catcher A.J. Pierzynski was voted 'most hated player' with 34% of the votes. 'He likes to talk a lot of sh**, and I�ve heard he�s a bad teammate,' one National League pitcher tells Men�s Journal. 'He�s been a prick to guys on his own pitching staff. Basically, if you haven�t got five years in the big leagues, he treats you like you�re a peasant. He�s that kind of guy.'" --2012 Men's Journal survey
"If you play against him, you hate him. If you play with him, you hate him a little less... I don't think he's a smartass. I think he's an ass without the smart." -- Ozzie Guillen on A.J. Pierzynski to ESPN the Magazine
"I don't know what people expect me to be like. I think the media can decide you're either a bad guy or a good guy, and they can keep pounding it until everyone thinks it's true. I get tired of the crap. Every day you read the newspaper, you have to hope that somebody didn't say something or write something that'll make you have to defend yourself." -- A.J. Pierzynski to ESPN the Magazine
"People like to stamp guys from the beginning. One guy says it, and then everyone else follows what that guy says, and then, boom." -- David Ortiz, Pierzynski's teammate with the Twins from 1998 to 2002
