Considering that LaTroy Hawkins played baseball for 21 seasons (with 11 different teams), it only makes sense that he’d encounter some bad eggs during his MLB journey. We’re talking over two decades spent in a locker room — someone had to ruffle ol’ Latroy’s feathers.
Luckily for us, LaTroy revealed which player that was during his Twins broadcast debut Tuesday night… former Rockies teammate, Tommy Kahnle! He hates this dude so much he dropped the “worst teammate in my life” label on him:

It’s about time we have an MLB analyst who’s game to air dirty laundry on live television. Refreshing stuff.
The Kahnle defenders, which apparently exist, went at LaTroy on Twitter:

You should pick better friends but by judging by your twitter rants. Birds of a feather flock together https://t.co/AMjukrKcPI
