Munenori Kawasaki is kinda great. It takes a certain energy to go to a foreign country that speaks a language you barely speak and then just not even bother getting a translator so you just say shit. Dude speaks the language of baseball, that of being weird while also fun to watch.

Trot is always a good choice. Special shout out to Brock Holt tho. Utility man extraordinaire and the only man in baseball history to hit for the cycle in a postseason game

As a Ranger fan there’s a few deep cuts that come to mind before seeing our player. David Murphy, Neftali Felix, Derek Holland, Mike Napoli, Rusty Greer, Kenny Rogers and Hank Blalock. I’d also put Michael Young on that list because I believe he’s the most underrated franchise player ever and doesn’t get his recognized as much as he deserves but he’s probably overqualified as a “cult” hero.

As a Red Sox fan, I probably would’ve gone with Kevin Millar honestly from that same era over Trot Nixon, as much as I loved Trot as a kid. i feel like Millar’s fun personality played a pivitol role in that 04 World Series run, he came up with the Cowboy Up catch phrase of that year as well as the team calling themselves idiots. From a team morale standpoint I don’t think they would’ve gotten that historic comeback against the Yankees in the ALCS without Millar in the clubhouse. He may have only played with the Sox for 3 seasons, but he was seriously a legend in the city that year and especially that October

@nomorefielders Год назад

Trust me Kevin Millar was on the table, but I *may* do a full series on Kevin Millar’s career

I only ask because it wasn’t until after I commented it was a clever move that I noticed the theme of using city specific music each time. Still clever and probably not noticed by everyone but definitely made me think your love for ska might not be as hardcore as I originally hoped

royals fan here, Alex Gordon is my favoriter royal ever, and I agree that he is probably the most important royal since Brett (maybe Salvy but he's the only person close). I wanna shout out Christian Colon though, he had a super clutch hit to tie the 2014 wildcard in the 12th inning and the go ahead rbi in the 2015 world series. I feel like he's kinda forgotten in royals' lore but he's a legend in my book

I kinda feel like for the Rays, you gotta go with Dan Johnson even if he's a bit more well known. That man had exactly one skill by the time he got to the Rays: hit clutch homeruns, and somehow, even when he was otherwise a pretty lousy hitter, he just kept doing it, again and again and again, and of course, he saved his most famous for his final ever AB for the Rays. If and when the Rays get a new stadium, I think I speak for most Rays fans in saying there needs to be a statue of Dan Johnson out front.

Trot was a great choice. Papelbon came to mind, but he was pretty well known, not quite cult. Mark Bellhorn came to mind, but he wasn't actually... good? Trot was the best. He felt like the epitome of a ballplayer to me. Loved his dirty hat and helmets. This was an awesome video. I wonder how this video would differ for each era. I can think of a few cult heroes from the 2010s Sox teams that could easily fit the bill. Brock Holt, Eduardo Nunez, Saltalamacchia, Koji.
