My Take

Grissom is the kind of ballplayer I really appreciate looking back on, a center fielder who did the unglamorous things well across sixteen big league seasons. Bouncing through the Expos, Braves, Indians, Brewers, Dodgers and Giants from 1989 to 2005, he was clearly a guy teams valued for steady defense and speed. The Gold Glove on his resume confirms what I'd expect, that his glove was the headline. I find it telling that a Florida A&M product carved out such a long MLB run. Players like Grissom don't always get the spotlight, but they're the connective tissue of winning rosters.
