Mike Scioscia played his entire career with the Los Angeles Dodgers, showing cerebral prowess, the ability to manage a pitching staff, and good enough hitting for a team as celebrated as the Los Angeles Dodgers kept him for well over a decade and the entirety of his MLB career.

Catchers are expected to be cerebral, but Scioscia took that to another level by learning Spanish to best communicate with the Dodgers ace, Fernando Valenzuela.  A two-time All-Star, Scioscia was considered one of the best in his era in handling a pitching staff, and he did compile 1,131 Hits offensively for Los Angeles.  A World Series winner in 1988, Scioscia later became a successful Manager, winning two Manager of the Year Awards and a World Series in 2002 as the Angels' skipper.
