My Take
Adam Dunn, the "Big Donkey," is my kind of ballplayer. At 198 cm, this Houston-born slugger spent 14 MLB seasons, mostly with the Cincinnati Reds, swinging for the fences. People remember him for both prodigious power and prodigious strikeouts, but I refuse to call that a flaw. It is a philosophy: never shorten up, never play it safe, home run or nothing. I admire that unapologetic commitment to a single, dramatic approach. He was a two-time All-Star who lived by his own code, and players like him earn their place in memory, not just the record book.
