I know a lot of people will only remember him for his World Series outfield misplay, but Nelson Cruz carved out a long, powerful MLB career as one of the game’s most feared right-handed sluggers. Debuting in 2005, he found his stride with the Texas Rangers, helping lead them to back-to-back World Series appearances in 2010 and 2011 while establishing himself as a consistent home run threat. Over more than 19 seasons, Cruz played for several teams, earned seven All-Star selections, won four Silver Slugger Awards, and captured the 2014 Home Run Derby. Known for his longevity and clutch power, Cruz finished his career with over 460 home runs, leaving a legacy as one of the premier designated hitters and power hitters of his era.
