I imagine that it sort of sucks for Damon Berryhill that he had such a prominent unibrow that a child felt the need to draw it on his depiction of the Cubs catcher.

I bet it sucks even more that Mr. Big Shot Creepy-Tooth Mark Grace decided to write all over that unibrow.

And I bet it sucks most of all that he made The Bottom 126.

If you look at Berryhill’s Baseball-Reference page, you might notice a legendary Cub listed as #2 on the “Similar Batters” list.

The trouble is, if you’re going to be similar to Henry Blanco as a player, you certainly don’t want that similarity to be next to the plate rather than behind it. And you certainly don’t want to also hit like Chris Widger, Brian Schneider, Kelly Stinnett, and Ben Davis even if you could stand on either side of the plate to do so.

Berryhill took over for the aging Jody Davis during the 1988 season, and became the full-time catcher after Davis was traded to the Braves.

Berryhill was injured during the 1989 season, and he was passed on the depth chart by his replacement Joe Girardi. Berryhill was traded to the Braves in 1991 along with Mike Bielecki for Turk Wendell and Yorkis Perez. Berryhill had a couple of bad postseason appearances with the Braves, and later with the Giants.

Low Point: October 1, 1990. In the last game of the bleak 1990 season, Berryhill went 0-4 with 2 strikouts in a 7-6 loss to the Philadelphia Phillies, including making the second out of the 9th inning with the tying run in the form of Shawon Dunston standing on first base.

Did You Know? It was Berryhill who, in the 1992 World Series while playing for the Braves, hit a three-run homer in the 6th inning off Jack Morris (then with Toronto) which gave the Braves a 3-1 victory. The Braves, of course, lost the Series. It’s Damon Berryhill, for crying out loud.
