Tony Armas

Tony Armas embodies the raw power that lit up the American League in the early 1980s. Coming out of Puerto Píritu, Venezuela, he muscled his way into the conversation among the league's premier sluggers, a free-swinging outfielder who lived and died by the long ball. What I love most is the family dimension: his son Tony Jr. pitched in the majors and his brother Marcos played the outfield too, making the Armas name a genuine baseball dynasty. There is something deeply romantic about a Latin American power hitter passing the game down to the next generation. I am drawn to hitters who swing with conviction, and Armas did exactly that.
