Those early 90 Ranger teams where fun to watch.
Canseco ruined them.

Loved the batting stance of Gonzalez who I think modeled it after Franco with the bat cocked over the head. Saw him very early in his career in a Fenway day game. They announce him and I'm thinking who? Then he just crushes one over the Monster, and I'm thinking, well this kid got all of that one. Next time up, he does the exact same thing, and this time I'm thinking what a swing, he may be the real deal. And he was, until he wasn't. I guess he has only himself to blame for taking a bad path, but man what a waste.

Julio Franco, not a HOF in my books but I think he could have gotten to 3k hits and in the hall had he not spent so much time in Japan.

Still like him more then Baines.
Franco vs Baines
43.6 war 38.7 war
