My Take

I have a soft spot for unglamorous players, and Greg Gagne is a perfect example. A shortstop from Fall River, Massachusetts, he wasn't a slugger filling highlight reels; he was the guy who quietly anchored the infield. What makes him special to me is the timing: he was on both Twins World Series winners, in 1987 and 1991. Winning once is rare enough; doing it twice says something about the kind of teammate you are. Ten seasons in one uniform speaks to durability and trust. The craftsman who survives on reliability rather than flash always earns my applause.
