Carlos Hermosillo

Carlos Hermosillo is one of those names that settles any argument about Mexican football history. Cruz Azul's all-time top scorer and second only to Cabinho in the country's top flight, that is not a stat you fluke your way into. At 188 cm, El Grandote de Cerro Azul was a brute of a finisher, and the nickname tells you he was beloved. What I admire most is the second act. Plenty of strikers fade after the goals dry up, but he turned toward politics and public service. A man who fought to score, then chose to fight for people, has a coherence to him that I genuinely respect.
