My Take
Colby Rasmus strikes me as a journeyman in the most honorable sense of the word. Born in Columbus, Georgia, in 1986 and a product of Russell County High School, he reached the majors and then wore five different uniforms, the Cardinals, Blue Jays, Astros, Rays and Orioles, even suiting up for the U.S. national team. The frequent moves point to how unforgiving the sport is, yet he kept stepping back into the box every time. That persistence is what I respect. There are no flashy individual trophies here, but a long career across the big leagues is its own quiet badge of honor.
