Richie Sexson
Richie Sexson was a big-hitting first baseman in baseball from 1997 to 2008, playing for the Brewers, Mariners, Diamondbacks, Indians (now Guardians), and Yankees.
Standing at 6’8″, Sexson was an intimidating presence at the plate and cranked over 300 home runs during his career with a single-season best of 45 in both 2001 and 2003 with the Brewers. He was a two-time All-Star and known for hitting some of the longest homers in the game.
Julio Franco
Julio Franco had an exceptionally long and diverse career in Major League Baseball, playing from 1982 until 2007, with a three-year stint in Japan’s Nippon Professional Baseball in between. He played for eight different MLB teams, most notably the Cleveland Indians and Texas Rangers.
Franco was known for his high contact, low strikeout approach, leading to a lifetime .298 batting average and an impressive .365 on-base percentage. The three-time All-Star and five-time Silver Slugger award winner accumulated 2586 hits, 173 home runs, and 1194 RBIs.
His longevity was remarkable, continuing his career well into his late 40s. Franco’s final MLB season was in 2007 with the Atlanta Braves when he was 48.
