Eccentricity

I have always loved eccentric players/ characters in baseball.  When I began to really understand/ foster a deep love for the game I was a Barry Zito fan.  (Lets all forget how he is currently pitching and remember when he was good) He died his hair blue, played guitar, and wore baby blue polyester suits.  ( Not everyone can pull of polyester suits) Not just a pitcher he often quoted philosophers as well as song lyrics and I thought he was the most fascinating player on the Athletics.  Then it was Eric Byrnes with his crazy Fan Fest antics, flying in the outfield (Look at him leap/jump after a ball. He really flies), chasing fans who ran on to the field during a game, and his surfing.  I have always loved players that were not just more than the game but those that were characters.  I have seen Barry Zito in concert (I don't recommend it by the way) and giving a yoga lesson.  Now I am looking for my current favorite Athletics crazy character and was wondering if anyone had any suggestions.  Buck is a top contender right now but I don't know if he is the next Byrnse.  (They do have similar hair though.) Coming from a die hard Athletics fan my next statement might shock some but I am really into the Texas Rangers closer C.J Wilson right now. (Gasp!) In the off-season he trained with aikido, (a Japanese marital arts form), he holds guitar hero charity events, and is straight edge just like me.  (Meaning we both don't drink and do drugs.)  He is quite a character who has an MLBlog and MySpace to reach out to his fans.  Until I decide which current Athletic is out there enough for me I will go with the knife wielding guitar hero playing Wilson.  Don't hate because I gravitate towards the eccentric in life even if they aren't an Athletic.
