Vance Law

Vance Law is one of those guys who quietly put together a really solid career without ever becoming a household name, and I find that genuinely interesting. A third baseman who bounced through Pittsburgh, Chicago (both sides of town, which is a fun quirk), Montreal, and Oakland — that's a man who knew how to stick around the big leagues on merit. What really gets me is the 1990 Chunichi Dragons stint in Japan, because not many players of his era made that cultural leap mid-career and came back. Then layer on the fact that he also played basketball at a high enough level to list it as a profession, and you've got a legitimately underrated athlete from Boise, Idaho who let his game do the talking. A quiet workhorse from a different era of baseball.
