Ben Broussard

Broussard fascinates me less for what he did at first base and more for the lives he keeps starting. A second-round Reds pick out of McNeese State, he built a real MLB career, then reinvented himself as a musician and an occasional analyst for the Cleveland Guardians. I find that arc genuinely admirable; plenty of athletes struggle to find a second act, and he seems to have built two. There's something honest about a man who trades the bat for a guitar and then comes back to talk the game. I suspect the same competitiveness runs through all of it.
