Craig Shemon here, with the Shemon and Sheppard Show, playing Wiki-Pete-ia every weekday at 4:45-ish on ESPN Southwest Florida!  To commemorate Alex Rodriguez's birthday, I thought we'd look at guys you love to hate.  Who do you love to root against?  Who are the biggest villains in sports?  This is an easy list of people to compile for our latest edition of Wiki-Pete-ia.  (Technically, since Pete is on vacation this week we will use Chris for this competition.  Unofficially, we will call it Chris-ipedia!). We pit him against an audience member each day.  May the best man or woman win sports streaks trivia!

In case you are not fortunate enough to be lucky caller number nine at 239-337-ESPN, then you are in luck!  Play at home and dazzle your family!  Stump your co-workers with useless knowledge!  Amaze your friends with your newfound intelligence!  Below are the actual questions AND ANSWERS heard during Wiki-Pete-ia on our show.

Of course, we have our favorite players on our favorite teams.  Also, we have players on other teams we hate and, let's admit it, we love rooting for their demise.  There may even be a few players we don't like but we would love it if they were on our team.  Let's figure out who some of them are!  Let's play Wiki-Pete-ia!   Good luck!
