My Take
Paul Molitor is one of those players who never got his proper flowers until late in his career, and honestly that still bugs me a little. The guy spent 15 seasons grinding it out for the Milwaukee Brewers — a team that was never quite good enough around him — before finally getting his World Series ring with the Toronto Blue Jays in 1993, at age 37, when he was named Series MVP. That's the kind of patience and perseverance that deserves a standing ovation. A lifetime .306 hitter with over 3,000 career hits and a genuine stolen-base threat, Molitor was the rare player who was dangerous in every dimension of the game. His induction into the Hall of Fame in 2004 felt long overdue. "The Ignitor" is a perfect nickname — the guy just had a knack for getting things started, and I'll always wish more people talked about him the way he deserves.
