My Take
What strikes me about Terry Pendleton is the late-bloomer arc. He spent his best years with the Cardinals and then truly peaked after switching to the Braves, winning the 1991 National League MVP at age 30 in a season that helped flip Atlanta from worst to first. To me, that Gold Glove defense at third base is the part that gets undersold next to the bat. I also like that he didn't disappear when his playing days ended, sticking around as a Braves coach for years. That kind of organizational loyalty feels rare, and it tells me the game stayed personal for him.
