CRIME DOG

 

FRED MCGRIFF

He was nicknamed the Crime Dog because of his last name's similarity to the "actual" crime dog McGruff.

This crime dog, it's safe to say, was at best a reluctant Cub. He refused to be traded to the Cubs at first, and then when he finally agreed to the trade, he seemed to be a bad luck charm as the surging Cubs faded out of contention shortly after he arrived in 2001. He had a great season in 2002 (30 HR, 103 RBI), but that team was headed nowhere.

He played two more seasons after he left Chicago, and ended his career with 493 home runs.
