No, Stony Brook didn't get to vote in this one.

A recent Men's Journal survey of 100 baseball players lists A.J. Pierzynski as the most hated player in the game, commanding 34 percent of the vote. This bit of bad news for Pierzynski comes a day after he seemed to make some disparaging comments about the Stony Brook University baseball program.

Rounding out the top three are a pair of Yankees: Alex Rodriguez (10 percent) and Nick Swisher (nine percent).

New York also came in third (12 percent) for most obnoxious fans.
