Melvin Mora

Melvin Mora is the sort of player I quietly root for: a Venezuelan infielder who turned versatility into a long Major League run, bouncing between the Mets, Orioles, Rockies, and Diamondbacks before adding a chapter in Taiwan's CPBL. That globe-trotting resume reads to me less like restlessness and more like a man who kept finding ways to stay useful. I like that he didn't fade out of the game after retiring either; coaching hitters for the Leones de Yucatan in the Mexican League suggests the baseball never left him. From Yaracuy to four big-league cities and beyond, his is a durable, well-traveled career.
