My Take
Don Aase is the kind of ballplayer I quietly admire most. Thirteen seasons across five franchises, shuttling between the Red Sox, Angels, Orioles, Mets and Dodgers, is not the resume of a household name but of a genuine survivor. Pitching is brutal on the arm, and longevity at that level demands stubbornness, adaptability and craft. I find the sheer persistence more compelling than any single highlight. A kid from sunny Orange, California who carved out more than a decade in the majors earns my respect through endurance rather than fireworks.
