Poor Juan Pierre.

From being immortalized in a Jay-Z song to being mocked by the sponsor on his own Baseball Reference page.

From the site:

" ... Freebasing grit and hustle doesn't obscure the 700+ PA's of 75 OPS+ production Pierre brings. He's a Latin David Eckstein. Bill Plaschke's unsavory fetish notwithstanding, Juan Pierre is probably the worst regular in baseball."
