Tony Fernandez

  • Used to sidearm the ball to first.
  • Batted out of turn in a 1989 game, and was blasted by the writers for it.
  • At his Wall of Excellence ceremony, the subject of his acceptance speech was about accepting adult responsibility.
  • Flirted with .400 in the 1999 season.
  • At the end of his career, used "Love will always stand alone... I'll always be your HERO!" as his at-bat music.
  • Used to yell when a ball was about to hit him. (Can you blame him?) For years, you could see the place on his face where a ball hit him in 1989.
