J. D. Drew

J. D. Drew is one of those players I find quietly fascinating because his story is also a family story. Born in Valdosta, Georgia in 1975, he came out of Florida State and turned into a Major League right fielder who played for the Cardinals, Braves, Dodgers and Red Sox. What strikes me most is that he wasn't the only Drew to reach the majors, his brothers Stephen and Tim got there too. That's a rare household. I tend to picture him as a smooth, talented outfielder whose career bridged some big franchises, and the sheer baseball pedigree of that family stays with me.
