My Take

Glaus was a classic early-2000s power-hitting third baseman, and his 2002 World Series MVP run is what I always come back to. He absolutely carried that Angels lineup against the Giants when it mattered most, hitting in clutch spots like the moment was made for him. He had this quietly intimidating presence at the plate, a big right-handed swing that could change a game with one cut. Injuries chipped away at his prime later on, which is a shame, but for that championship stretch he was as dangerous as anyone in the league.
