"Allegedly, Pierzynski kneed the Giants' trainer in the groin during spring training (there were no reports of this incident ever taking place, however) and played cards rather than reviewing opposing hitters with a pitcher (which Pierzynski admitted to only doing once). Soon, he became known as "a clubhouse catcher." Despite the negative atmosphere, Pierzynski played well, hitting .272 with 11 homers and 77 RBIs. He now offers a $100 reward for anyone who hits a home run off of Brett Tomko, the pitcher he believes called him the "C" word."

"During a Giants exhibition game last spring, Pierzynski took a shot to his, shall we say, private parts. Trainer Stan Conte rushed to the scene, placed his hands on Pierzynski's shoulders in a reassuring way, and asked how it felt. "Like this," said Pierzynski, viciously delivering a knee to Conte's groin. It was a real test of professionalism for the enraged Conte, who vowed to ignore Pierzynski for the rest of the season until Conte realized how that would look. The incident went unreported because all of the beat writers happened to be doing in-game interviews in the clubhouse, but it was corroborated by a half-dozen eyewitnesses who could hardly believe their eyes. Said one source, as reliable as they come: "There is absolutely no doubt that it happened."
