Oscar Hernández

Oscar Hernández is the kind of catcher I find quietly romantic. A Venezuelan from Punto Fijo, he reached the majors with the Diamondbacks and the Royals and now still straps on the gear for the Cleburne Railroaders in independent ball. At six-one and 230 pounds, throwing and batting right, he plays the most thankless brain-work position on the field. The story that moves me is not the highlight reel but the persistence: catching from the big leagues down to indie ball, eating the dirt wherever the game takes him. That looks like pure love of baseball, and endurance is its own kind of greatness.
