My Take
Germán Rivera is one of those guys who makes you appreciate just how brutally narrow the door to the majors really is — a Puerto Rican third baseman out of Santurce who got legitimate shots with the Dodgers and Astros in the mid-1980s, and that alone puts him in rarefied company. The 1980s NL was stacked with talent at every corner, and making a big-league roster under those conditions is no small thing. He never became a household name, but I've always had a soft spot for the career journeymen who grind through the minors, finally crack a big-league lineup, and give everything they've got for a season or two. Rivera represents that quiet, honest slice of baseball history — the kind of player whose stats won't dazzle you but whose story is a real one.
