Denis Savard

A brilliant playmaking Centre, Denis Savard was an over a point per game player throughout his career.  He had his best efforts while playing with the Chicago Blackhawks in the 1980’s and would hit the 100 point mark on five occasions.  The gifted forward would often find unique way to get the puck to his teammates, or put it in the net.  Basically, this was a player made for the sports highlight reel.  Savard would reach his pinnacle in his home province as he was able to raise the Stanley Cup as a member of the Montreal Canadians in 1993.  The flashy French Canadian entered the Hockey Hall of Fame in his first year of eligibility.

Yorvit Torrealba

The Venezuelan born Catcher, Yorvit Torrealba, spend over a decade in Major League Baseball, mostly in a backup role. Torrealba was known mostly for his defensive ability and only twice had more than 100 Hits in a season.

Vernon Wells

Vernon Wells had some good seasons with the Toronto Blue Jays, showcasing power and a decent glove and made the All Star time three times. His best season was in his Sliver Slugger season of 2003 where he led the American League in Hits, Doubles and Total Bases. Another couple of campaigns like that and we might possibly be talking about him having a shot to get a handful of votes.

Travis Hafner

Travis Hafner would win the Slugging and OPS Title in 2006 and for a few seasons with the Cleveland Indians would put up good power numbers and would bat over .300 three consecutive seasons. After the age of thirty, he would succumb to injuries and was not the same player but still holds the distinction of being the player from North Dakota who has the most Home Runs. Not a bad title to have!
