My Take
Juan Gonzalez, Juan Gone, is the kind of slugger I have a soft spot for: pure, unapologetic power. Two MVP awards in 1996 and 1998 anchored to the Texas Rangers tell you he was not a one-season wonder but a sustained force at the plate. As a Puerto Rican star carrying that kind of thump, he was a thrill to watch in an era that prized the long ball. I tend to value hitters who live in the memory more than the record book, and Gonzalez absolutely belongs there. The swing alone was worth the price of admission.
