Zach Greinke
Zach Greinke has been a dynamite pitcher in baseball since he first hit the mound in 2004. He’s played for a handful of teams, including the Royals, Dodgers, Astros, Diamondbacks, Brewers and Angels. Greinke took home the Cy Young Award in 2009 while with the Royals.

Jeff Suppan played for 7 different teams (Royals, Cardinals, Red Sox, Brewers, Diamondbacks, Pirates, Padres) over his 17-year career. Suppan was known for his consistent performance on the mound, amassing over 140 wins in his career.
His most successful stint came with the Cardinals, where he played a crucial role in their 2006 World Series run, earning the NLCS MVP for his stellar performance.
Despite not being a big strikeout pitcher, Suppan was a dependable arm in the rotation, providing valuable innings for his teams over a lengthy career.
Jay Bell
Jay Bell, who played from 1986 to 2003, spent most of his career as a shortstop with the Pirates and Diamondbacks. Bell was a solid all-around player, accumulating over 1,900 hits, 195 home runs, and 860 RBIs in his career.
Bell made All-Star games with both the Pirates and Diamondbacks (1 each). He was also a part of the Diamondbacks’ World Series championship team in 2001.
Bell was known for his dependable glove, winning a Gold Glove in 1993, and his consistency at the plate made him a valuable contributor in Major League lineups for nearly two decades.
