I posted previously about MLB’s Hometown Heroes promotion. Now ESPN has one to go along with it: Hometown Bums.

The nominees for the Cardinals are:

Mark Mulder
Danny Jackson
J.D. Drew
Vern Rapp
Garry Templeton

I probably would have added Jim Lindeman to the list. Fungoes thinks Todd Zeile belongs there as well. I voted for Templeton from among this list of nominees. Drew is currently leading the balloting for both the Cardinals and the Phillies.

Bud Selig is running away with the honor for the Brewers, as is John Rocker for the Braves.
