Jack Wilson

What draws me to Jack Wilson is the quiet dignity of the position he played. Shortstop is the infield's nerve center, and the guys who excel there are rarely the loudest in the clubhouse. After a long career bouncing between the Pirates, Mariners, and Braves, Wilson didn't fade away; he turned around and started coaching, eventually managing a collegiate-league club. That second act, passing craft to younger players instead of chasing the spotlight, says more about a man than any stat line. I have a deep respect for athletes who measure success by what they leave behind rather than what they took.
