My Take

Henderson Álvarez will always be tied in my mind to one of baseball's stranger moments of glory: completing a no-hitter on the final day of 2013 while standing in the on-deck circle, the game ending on a walk-off wild pitch. That kind of cosmic timing is the sort of thing that makes baseball worth loving. His MLB career with Toronto, Miami, and Philadelphia was cut short by injuries, but seeing him still pitching back home in Carabobo speaks to a stubborn love of the game. I respect players who keep throwing long after the spotlight has moved on.
