Yeah there have been many more, he was traded by the Indians for fights with Eric Wedge and causing team problems, he went after a fan while he was in LA, threw the bag of balls on the field, had a scuffle with Joe West, etc. etc. He has had far more than 3 big incidents.
That said, I kinda agree with Savant, maybe a psycho like him is what we need.

I'm not ignoring that he's had other things in the past besides the most well known incidents. But, you have to recognize that he's acknowledged his problems and worked on them. To me, the 'confronting the broadcaster' incident isn't really an issue (if you or anyone else does, please please please read the article I posted about the affair). So, he hasn't really done anything that's too entirely out of line since the bottle incident in LA. And somebody threw a bottle at him for crying out loud! I would have done exactly what he did in that situation!
