Vladimir Guerrero, RF, Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim
How can anyone not love to see this guy play? Everything he does is maximum effort. If he was an amplifier he’d go up to eleven. Every time he swings a bat (which is whenever the ball doesn’t bounce to home plate) he’s looking to put the ball into orbit around Mars. Every time he throws the ball he looks to put the ball through the pocket of the receivers glove. When he steals a bag he wants to be there before he left.
This effervescent and prodigious talent on the field is a stark contrast to his character off it as he is renowned for being deeply private and shy of the bright lights and many see that as the main reason he wound up in Anaheim rather than New York (that and his mother was allegedly not fond of the place either). Before games he can be found in a corner of the room playing video games and he is rumoured to have consciously avoided learning too much English so he doesn’t have to deal with the press so much. All he wants to do is play ball and play as hard as he can.
