Michael Morse

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 Nationals fans singing along to his A-ha 'Take On Me' at-bat song and the grand slam he had to finish with a mock swing, before he won a World Series with the Giants 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.
