I got the baseball reference! The guy in the picture is Rob Ford, the former crack smoking mayor of Toronto. He kept making continual comical blunders that were repeatedly picked up by the media. The news eventually made its way down to the USA and he even appeared on the Jimmy Kimmel show. Jon Stewart on the daily show had repeated segments on Ford. What is interesting is that Canadian news rarely shows up on the radar in the States, but this guy's repeated transgressions did so. Some of Ford's transgressions... smoking crack & the infamous crack video a video depicting him engaging in a vigorous drunken rant/tirade his attempt at explaining/excusing his actions because he was in a "drunken stupor" (his own words) some "interesting" comments on his sex life at home in response to sexual harassment accusations (see video below) walking into a news camera face first... and the profanity that followed in response clumsily knocking over an older female etc. etc. Oddly enough, his actual political work was decent. He just brought a lot of bad attention on the city through his short comings within his personal life.
