Johnny Damon

August 17, 2011

A 17-year veteran, Johnny Damon has had a long and fruitful baseball career. Most likely his numbers and accolades will shock you, as much as a man that looks like Jesus should. After starting his career in Kansas City, and a short stint with the A’s, Damon found himself as an iconic piece of the 2004 Boston Red Sox World Series Championship team. He won another ring with the rival Yankees (yay free agency!), and since has bounced around to Detroit and Tampa Bay.

Charlie Hustle. To most baseball fans, that’s all you need to say. The nickname alone conjures up images of a mop-topped, clay-stained uniform flying into third base or home plate with reckless abandon. As soon as the first pitch crossed the plate, there was no let up in his play until the final batter was retired. Pete Rose, as a player, was a shoo-in to the Hall of Fame.

Andre “The Hawk” Dawson, the 1977 Rookie of the Year, spent the majority of his career north of the border in Montreal. There, he flashed his power and speed, roaming center field and earning six of his eight Gold Gloves. But the artificial turf in Olympic Stadium took its toll on The Hawk’s knees.

Chipper Jones

August 4, 2009

Chipper Jones, the first pick in the 1990 amateur draft and the cornerstone of the Atlanta Braves offense since 1995, has been one of the most consistent hitters in baseball. During Atlanta’s run of eleven straight NL East titles, Chipper picked up two Silver Slugger Awards and a NL MVP award. After starting his career with eight consecutive seasons with 100+ RBI, injuries have hampered Jones over the last five years. So the question remains…is Chipper Jones Hall or no Hall?
