Ty Cobb (1886-1963) -- for sheer viciousness as a baseball player.
Diego Maradona (1960-2020) -- the "Bad Boy of Soccer"
Billy Martin (1928-1989) -- baseball player and manager known for fights
Mike Tyson (1966-) -- boxer. Lost a match by biting the ear of Evander Holyfield.
Arnold Rothstein (1882-1928), corrupt gambler who promoted the Black Sox scandal
Jack Tatum (1948-2010) is another "bad apple" in sports. He was infamous for being a hard hitter, most notably with the incident that left Darryl Stingley paralyzed (this maybe why he is not in the NFL Hall of Fame).
