Nyjer Morgan

Nyjer Morgan is one of those players you just can't look away from — the guy played center field like his life depended on it, all speed and instinct, and then had the nerve to also have an ice hockey background on his résumé. He bounced around from Pittsburgh to Washington to Milwaukee, but it was with the Brewers where he really clicked, giving himself the alter ego "Tony Plush" and turning post-game interviews into pure must-watch entertainment. Off the field he could get under people's skin — the brawls, the beanballs, the outspoken takes — but on it he was a legitimate defensive force and a spark-plug leadoff type. The fact that he went over to Japan and Korea to keep playing shows a guy who genuinely loves the game rather than just cashing a check. Eccentric, talented, and never dull — exactly the kind of player baseball needs more of.
