My Take
Ron LeFlore is one of those careers I find genuinely moving. He reached the majors through an unconventional path and made the most of it, earning an American League All-Star selection in 1976 and stealing 455 bases over his career as a center fielder. Six seasons with the Tigers, a trade to the Expos, and a final stint with the White Sox before retiring in 1982. Speed players are simply a joy to watch, but what stays with me is the climb itself, the story of someone who fought his way up to elite baseball. I respect the whole arc, not just the stats.
