Best sports mug shots

Look, we’re not trying to create the appearance here at LBS that we condone crimes. We think DUIs, assaults, robberies and drug possessions are all pretty bad. But if there is one small, tiny positive that comes out of folks in the sports world getting arrested, it’s that sometimes we’re lucky enough to end up with a classic mug shot.

From Hall of Famers like Charles Barkley and Carlton Fisk to your average athlete, anyone is capable of giving us a great mug shot. Featured above are photos of some of the greatest mug shots in sports. You can click on each image to read the full story behind the arrest.

If athletes being bad is something you enjoy reading about, we encourage you to check out a few other categories here on the site.
