José Reyes

José Reyes is one of those players who made baseball look genuinely fun, and I mean that as the highest compliment. Coming out of Villa González in the Dominican Republic, he brought this electric, free-swinging energy to the New York Mets that the team hadn't seen in years. Four All-Star selections tell part of the story, but what I really remember is watching him leg out triples — he led MLB in that category four times, which is a freakish combination of speed and daring that you just don't see anymore. He also led the National League in stolen bases three straight years from 2005 to 2007. When Reyes was at his peak, he was genuinely one of the most exciting players in the game — the kind of guy who could change the entire vibe of a ballpark just by getting on base.
