Emerging as a bona fide superstar with the Texas Rangers in the 1990’s, Juan Gonzalez was a prolific power hitter who hit over 40 home runs as a Ranger, two of which saw him win the Home Run Title. Seven times, “Juan Gone” secured a 100 RBI campaign for Texas and he was named the American League MVP in 1996 and 1998.
Gonzalez is the all-time franchise leader in Home Runs (372) and RBIs (1180), and the Rangers inducted him into their Hall of Fame in 2015.
