Willie McGee

Willie McGee's name alone warms me. Born in San Francisco in 1958, he spent eighteen MLB seasons, mostly with the Cardinals, as an outfielder who could run, hit, and field with equal joy. The 1985 National League MVP and a Gold Glove tell you he was the complete package, but what really stays with me is loyalty: after retiring he returned to the Cardinals as a special assistant in baseball operations. A player so beloved by one franchise that he comes home to it is a beautiful thing in modern sports. I hold him in real esteem.
