My Take
Jay Buhner is my kind of ballplayer, the sort whose legend outgrows his stat line. "Bone" gave the Mariners a shaved head, a thick goatee, a smear of pine tar on his hip, and a personality you could spot from the cheap seats, all while winning a Gold Glove in right field. What I love is how completely he fused production with character; he was beloved not just for what he did but for who he was on the field. Decades on, Seattle fans still say his name, and to me that durability of affection is the truest measure of a popular athlete.
