Mel Stottlemyre is known more for his work as a Pitching Coach for the New York Yankees, where he won four World Series Rings, after winning one with the Mets. This was impressive, but it should not overshadow what he was as a player.
Brian Downing played his entire professional career in the American League, where he was in the lineup as either a Catcher, Outfielder, or Designated Hitter.
Jim Sundberg was known for his defensive skills. So much so, that is how we wound up on this list.
Lenny Dykstra was a fan favorite, a hard-nosed baseball player whose nickname of “Nails” fit him perfectly.
