My Take
Al Leiter is the sort of athlete whose value I appreciate more in hindsight. A left-handed pitcher who logged nearly two decades in the majors, from 1987 to 2005, across the Yankees, Blue Jays, Marlins, and Mets, he embodied durability over flash. Outlasting four organizations requires both talent and adaptability. What impresses me most is his seamless second act as a sports commentator, turning a pitcher's deep field knowledge into sharp analysis. His 2017 induction into the New Jersey Hall of Fame feels well earned for a local kid made good. To me, he is a model of the long, useful career.
