Despite their multi-million dollar bank accounts and celebrity status, at the start of each season Major League baseball players have to sit down in front of the camera and get their picture taken for their official profile photo, just like we all did as kids in grade school. 

And like everyone else, occasionally some of these guys are having a bad hair day or look a little ragged in their pic.  They can’t all be Derek Jeters.  Today we take a look at the Top 7 least photogenic MLB profile pics for 2007. 

gorzelanny7.  Tom Gorzelanny
Gorzelanny, who sort of resembles a cleaned up version of Rocky Dennis from Mask, faced off yesterday against #6 on the list , meaning that every time someone opened Yahoo Gamecast, they got to see those two grills sitting next to each other.  That’s an excuse to find yourself a radio. 

 

looper6.  Braden Looper
So long as Looper keeps his ERA around the 3.00 mark, St. Louisans don’t care how photogenic he is.

 

haren5. Dan Haren
As Haren’s photo shows, there’s a fine line between looking like a disciple of Jesus and looking like a serial killer.  We’re not sure which he resembles more, but we’re thinking he’d probably look pretty natural carrying an ax.

 

alfonseca4. Antonio Alfonseca
Let’s be honest, he probably doesn’t make this list if the picture of his weird alien belly doesn’t surface online last week.   Between the belly, the extra fingers and this mug shot, he kind of freaks us out.

 

harang3. Aaron Harang
Anyone who has garnered the nickname “The Harangutan” based on his resemblance to a certain species of monkey, has to be a favorite to make this list. Throw in the fact that he looks like he fell chin first into a bowl of melted Ding Dongs and he's Top 3. 

 

turnbow2. Derrick Turnbow
Give Turnbow credit, rather than just sitting back and enjoying his natural goon looks, he accentuates it with the flowing mullet and the bizarre “chin strap” goatee.  This kid won’t half ass anything.  Admirable.

 

colon1. Bartolo Colon
Seriously, did you think anyone else would top this list?  Colon’s got it all, the massive double chin, the dirtlip mustache, the tight perm that oozes out of his cap.  300 lb Cy Young winners don’t come around often, so we need to enjoy them while we can.  

 

The Top 7 list this week was written by Josh Bacott.  He's had some pretty rough sports pics in his day. E-mail him at josh@joesportsfan.com

What about Al Martin, that was an ugly guy, and he lied about playing football for USC, he loses twice
Steve, June 26, 2008 03:06 PM
I know this column was written last year but I have one to add:Sean Gallagher

Why is ever player on this list a pitcher? Laziness I say.

Also, Turnbow shouldn't even be in consideration for this list, even if it is pitcher exclusive.
MC, May 29, 2007 02:05 AM
how could you forget ezekial estacio?
dango, May 28, 2007 11:05 AM
Agree with Jay Gibbons. The man should be hanging from the roof of a Gothic cathedral.
Martin, May 28, 2007 06:05 AM
How could you leave out Paul Byrd? How?
The Duke, May 28, 2007 03:05 AM
Wait a minute, an All-Ugly list without Kevin Youkilis??? To be fair, with his new goatee he looks a little bit less like a fetus than he did before but he still deserves to be on your list!
What the F, May 28, 2007 03:05 AM
How about Travis Hafner.? The guy looks like a freakin ogre. Jesus.
Jay Gibbons, May 28, 2007 02:05 AM
Come on. I might be the ugliest person in all of sports next to Sheldon Williams.

No Ramon Castro?
randy johnson, May 27, 2007 02:05 PM
where am i on this list?
Don Mossi, May 27, 2007 11:05 AM
How can you say those guys are ugly. I'd say they are pretty handsome.

I rule the all-time list. Also, "The Harangutans" almost made me pee myself...

I think I make the all-time list.
JB, May 25, 2007 07:05 AM
Ezekial Astacio would have certainly made the list of ugliest baseball players, but surprisingly his profile pic isn't that frightening. Just shows what you can do with Photoshop these days.
Freddy Krueger, May 25, 2007 06:05 AM
Just to clear things up, Julian Tavarez is my baseball playing pseudonym. Sweet dreams and nasty CUT fastballs to you all!!!
Rob, May 25, 2007 06:05 AM
I would like to nominate each and every one of Tom Gorzelanny's teammates. I think they really are Pirates.
Stoner, May 25, 2007 05:05 AM
Bong hits for Dan Haren!
Ezekiel Astacio, May 25, 2007 05:05 AM
How in God's name did I not make this list?

Have you ever seen the rubber boils saturating my epidermis?
Julian Tavarez, May 25, 2007 05:05 AM
Come on people, I could definately challenge Colon for the title, children can't even ask me for autographs, they just run away screaming in fear. I've got more craters than the moon.
Torry Holt, May 25, 2007 03:05 AM
For the last time, will all of you stop comparing me to the non-alien version of Sam Cassell?
Rocky Dennis, May 25, 2007 03:05 AM
You should have seen my split fingered fastball. Completely devastating. It was a bitch finding a hat that fit though.
JB, May 25, 2007 01:05 AM
Colon is like a dyansty when it comes to lists like these. No one can beat him. I always picture him in the dugout eating cheese hot dogs in between innings.
Sam Cassell, May 24, 2007 08:05 PM
Damn those fools is ugly.
Sam Cassell, May 24, 2007 08:05 PM
Damn those fools is ugly.

good list but rangers catcher gerald laird should be on here

Gorman Thomas

In 1981, Gorman Thomas was suspended five games after he ripped off the arm of a heckling fan and used it to lay down a succesful sacrifice bunt during the game.
