I got what appears to be a Magglio Ordonez bobble-head…
“The White Sox signed Magglio out of Venezuela in 1991 and, after struggling for a few years in the Minors, he blossomed. He debuted in Chicago in 1997, then made the Topps All-Rookie Team the next year. In 1999, Ordonez landed the first of six MLB All-Star Game bids and finished with his first of four .300-30-100 seasons in a row. The three-time Silver Slugger Award recipient suffered a major knee injury in 2004, signed with Detroit a year later, then has come all the way back by averaging .326-24-115 over the past three campaigns. That includes a 2007 AL batting title with his .363 average.”
Adam Dunn has been quietly amassing an impressive career home run total. He has averaged about 40 home runs per season for the past 6 seasons and now has 316 career homers. He should have no problem joining the 500 home run club before the age of 35. Playing for the lowly Nationals and never actually leading the league in any major statistical category will probably keep him under the radar for a few more years.
