My Take
Gary Sheffield is one of those hitters you could identify by silhouette alone, that twitchy, menacing bat wiggle in the box. To me, the most telling stat isn't any single number but the fact that he raked across eight different teams from 1988 to 2009. That kind of portable excellence speaks to a rare blend of talent and sheer competitive will. I find his second act as a sports agent fitting too: the man who intimidated pitchers now sits across the negotiating table. Whatever the arena, Sheffield came to win, and I respect that single-minded edge enormously.
