In productionFive careers defined by a single moment — a one-hit masterpiece in a lost season, a can't-miss prospect who never won, a backup who disciplined his way up, two flashes of brilliance, and a stand of conscience.

In a 5–16 season, he carried a no-hitter to two outs in the ninth. One night, everything worked.
64–25 in the minors, the #23 prospect in baseball — and 0–8 in the majors. He coaches school baseball in Texas now.
A first-round pick who nearly hit his way out of baseball, rebuilt himself on plate discipline, and made his first two major-league hits triples — the first off Pedro Martínez.
An 11th-round pick who hit with Ted Williams as a teenager, flashed twice (1991, then 34 home runs in 1993), and coached in the game for decades after injuries ended his playing days at 28.
In 1996 he refused, on religious grounds, to join an AIDS-awareness ceremony — the documented stand of his career; afterward he pastored a church and raised 12 children.
