The 25 Strangest Sports Mugshots of All-Time

It seems like every week some kind of athlete is getting arrested for DUI, sexual assault, shooting himself in the leg...something.

If you're famous enough, you know your mugshot is going to be plastered on televisions and computer screens across the country, so I'm surprised that the culprits don't take a little more pride in them.

As it turns out, most of the time they end up looking like psychos or...well...criminals.

Here are the 25 strangest sports mugshots of all-time.

Who: Jose Canseco: 1988 AL MVP, steroid whistleblower.

Why: No charge was listed on this shot in 1984, but since Canseco has been arrested numerous times, you can just take your pick.

Why: Cabrera was arrested in 2011 on charges of driving under the influence and resisting an officer without violence. Cabrera reportedly refused to follow police commands and instead replied, "F--- you! Do you know who I am?" Cops love to hear that one.

Caption: "I don't think the guy I just performed surgery on is going to be quite as happy as I am."

Who: Jennifer Capriati: 1992 Olympic Gold Medal winner, two-time US Open champion, former girlfriend of male adult film star Dale DaBone (I wish I was making that up).

Why: On New Year's Eve, 2008, Barkley was pulled over in Arizona for running a stop sign. I'm not sure if he was arrested for the stop sign or the fact that his blood alcohol level was twice the legal limit. Either way, he certainly had a good excuse: Barkley claimed he was in a rush to get himself and his female passenger around the corner to...um...well let's just say they weren't going to break down the triangle offense.
