Alexis Gómez

Alexis Gómez has the kind of well-traveled career I always find fascinating. A Dominican outfielder born in Loma de Cabrera in 1978, he played in Major League Baseball for the Kansas City Royals and Detroit Tigers before crossing the Pacific to suit up for the Chunichi Dragons in Nippon Professional Baseball. At 191 cm he had the frame of a classic power outfielder, and that NPB chapter especially interests me, since adapting to Japanese baseball is its own challenge. Players who thrive on two continents earn my respect for their flexibility. I'd like to know how Japanese fans remember his stint.
