I would nominate Jeff Kent -- for so many years he was viewed as the anti-Bonds and fans thought he was Mr. Hard Nosed Respectful Nice White Guy. Then they had the dugout fight in his last year in SF, and at the end of that year and especially after he left, boy did attitudes turn.

viewed as the anti-Bonds? maybe viewed as not as much of an asshole, but even that was always debatable.

Oh no. Before 2002, he was absolutely the guy who Played The Right Way. He was quoted in the Rick Reilly article (2000, maybe 2001) and everyone was on his side. It wasn't until the motorcycle accident and the dugout fight that people really figured him out. Reporters knew it maybe, but not fans.

fans with heads up their asses maybe. i know a lot of mets fans who thought he was a douche before he got to SF.

That's just overkill. Paterno is nowhere near a zero.

And he is nowhere near what people thought he was, except to sicophant Penn State douchebags
