Garry Templeton was a St. Louis Cardinal, and famously flipped off the fans in St. Louis. The picture made the front page of the St. Louis Post Dispatch.
Whitey Herzog dragged him off the field, physically, and he was traded to the Padres during the offseason, a straight trade for Ozzie Smith.
After he went to SD, he pulled a Pujols, and his average dropped 50+ points.
I was at the game the next year, in 1982, the first game he came back to St. Louis. It was ... AMAZING...and it didn't involve the Mets. Heh heh.
There were several individuals that passed out the picture of him flipping off the fans to the incoming fans, in case anyone had forgotten. Nope.
Here's the box score: 0-3 with an error.

His first at bat, quite a lot of normally excellent fans stood up and flipped him off. The second at bat, THOUSANDS of fans booed him when he came to the plate, and flipped him off. Third at bat? No exaggeration to say most of the fans stood up, booed him VERY loudly, with MANY thousands of hand gestures.
In the eighth inning, Templeton, feeling the pressure, took a routine ground ball, and threw it over the first baseman's head. AWESOME! Place went nuts!
