My Take
Mike Morse was the definition of a fan favorite, a hulking slugger with a free-and-easy personality that made him impossible not to like. His 2011 breakout in Washington, mashing 31 home runs, felt like a long-overdue reward for a guy who grinded through years of journeyman uncertainty. I'll always remember the A-Ha 'Take On Me' walk-up song and the air-bat home run celebration that became Giants lore in 2014. He wasn't a Hall of Famer, but he played with joy and clutch power when it mattered. Baseball is more fun with players like Morse around.
