Vladimir Guerrero

Vladimir Guerrero remains my favorite argument against baseball orthodoxy. Hitters are taught discipline; Vlad swung at everything, pitches in the dirt, pitches at his eyes, and still hit them hard for sixteen big-league seasons, winning the 2004 MVP and a shelf of Silver Sluggers. No batting gloves, a pine-tar-stained helmet, a cannon arm in right field: he played like the game was still a sandlot in Don Gregorio, and that joy was contagious. Analytics can explain almost everything in modern baseball, but it never fully explained him. The Canadian Baseball Hall of Fame nod for his Expos years feels right; Montreal saw the wild genius first.
