Fernando Rodney

Fernando Rodney is one of baseball's great characters, and the longevity behind the showmanship is what gets me. Born 1977 in Samana, Dominican Republic, the closer with the famously crooked cap and the arrow-into-the-sky celebration pitched for what feels like every team in the majors, the Tigers, Rays, Mariners and many more. Multiple All-Star nods and a fastball that refused to fade with age made him more than a gimmick. I love that he was simultaneously the most fun guy in the bullpen and a genuinely reliable arm in the ninth. Personality plus production is a rare combination, and he had both for ages.
