One of my favorite guys ever. He stuck around just a bit too long, but the fact he came and started playing MLB ball at age 27 and was still able to get over 3,000 hits is insane.
Was able to still hit .291 at age 42 in Miami. Had some of the most spectacular seasons of the 21st Century:
Look at him in 2001, his first year in America: .350 BA, 242 H, 56 SB, MVP, ROY
2004: .372, 262 H, 36 SB
From 2001-2010 (age 27-36), he averaged: .331 BA, 224 H, 105 R, 7 3B, 38 SB with 10 all-star appearances, 10 Gold Gloves, 3 Silver Sluggers, and an MVP. One of the best five-tool players in baseball history.
If he's not a 100% guy in the HOF, then I don't know who is (besides Mo, who also deserved it).
Was going to make his own thread, but figured it wouldn't have enough interest.
