Bernie Williams

Bernie Williams is one of those rare people who makes you feel almost inadequate, because how is one person allowed to be that good at two completely different things? He spent 16 years as the center fielder for the New York Yankees — calm, elegant, impossibly consistent — winning four World Series rings and earning a Gold Glove while doing it. Then he hung up the cleats and just… picked up his guitar and started releasing jazz albums. Not as a vanity project either; the man genuinely plays. Born in San Juan, Puerto Rico, there's a Latin warmth and fluidity to everything he does on the fretboard that tells you music was always in him, even when he was tracking down fly balls in Yankee Stadium. The quiet grace he showed in center field translates perfectly to his musicianship — never flashy, always deeply assured.
