The son of former star Felipe Alou (and his manager with the Expos) Moises Alou began his successful career in Major League Baseball (save for two games in Pittsburgh) with the Montreal Expos. Alou was an All-Star in the strike-shortened 1994 season where he batted .339 and was also named a Silver Slugger while finishing third in MVP voting. Alou would also have a pair of 20 Home Run seasons for the Expos.

Not a bad little run for a player who arrived in Montreal as the “Player to be Named Later”.
