Magglio Ordonez
Magglio Ordonez, a Venezuelan right fielder, played in Major League Baseball from 1997 to 2011, primarily for the Chicago White Sox and Detroit Tigers. Over his career, Ordonez batted .309, hit 294 home runs, and notched over 2100 hits.
A six-time All-Star (White Sox, Tigers), he won three Silver Slugger awards (White Sox, Tigers), demonstrating his potent offensive ability. His 2007 season with the Tigers was a standout, as he led the American League with a .363 batting average and drove in 139 RBIs, finishing second in MVP voting.
His iconic walk-off home run in Game 4 of the 2006 ALCS sent the Tigers to their first World Series in 22 years.
*Ordonez was previously the most popular pick for this square (Grid 105).
David Wells
David Wells, nicknamed “Boomer”, was a major force on the baseball mound from 1987 to 2007, spending time with the Blue Jays, Yankees, Padres, and several other teams including Tigers, Red Sox, Dodgers, Reds, Orioles and White Sox.
A key player in the Yankees’ ’98 World Series win, Wells also pitched a rare perfect game that same year.
His career stats are impressive, with a total of 239 wins and over 2,200 strikeouts over the course of 21 seasons.
Francisco Liriano
Francisco Liriano began his MLB journey with the Minnesota Twins in 2005, quickly making an impression as one of the league’s promising young pitchers. In 2006, his breakout season, he was named an All-Star, and while his year was cut short due to Tommy John surgery, his performance left a lasting impression.
Over the years, Liriano played for various teams, including the White Sox, Pirates, Blue Jays, Astros, and Tigers. One of his career highlights came with the Pirates, where he won the 2013 National League Comeback Player of the Year after an impressive season on the mound.
Throughout his career, Liriano was known for his devastating slider and ability to generate strikeouts. His journey in the MLB was characterized by moments of sheer dominance, resilience in the face of injuries, and adaptability as he transitioned roles, even serving as a relief pitcher later in his career.
