About Vladimir Guerrero

He was a throwback to a different era, when batting gloves were shunned and pine tar was a badge of honor.

Vladimir Guerrero wasn’t about style points. What he left behind in substance, however, was a legacy of power and production.

Born Feb. 9, 1975 in Nizao, Dominican Republic, Guerrero played baseball barefoot as a youth, using a stick for a bat and lemons wrapped in rags for balls. He was signed by the Expos at age 18, and quickly established himself as one of baseball’s top prospects.

About Andre Dawson

Just one knee surgery can derail a baseball player from his major league career. Andre Dawson had 12 knee surgeries and finished his career in Cooperstown.

Dawson, known as the “Hawk”, was only the second player in baseball history to reach 400 home runs and 300 stolen bases.

“If Andre didn’t have bad knees, he would have finished with 600 home runs and 500 stolen bases,” said former teammate Shawon Dunston.

About Gary Carter

Gary Carter earned the nickname “The Kid” at Spring Training with the Expos in 1973 at the age of 19.

“I tried to impress everybody that spring, you know, being the first in line for sprints,” Carter said. “Running hard to first base all the time.”

A few big leaguers began calling him "The Kid" – and the nickname as well as the style of play stuck with him throughout his 19-year career. The 11-time All-Star was an enthusiastic and resilient backstop for the Expos, Mets, Giants and Dodgers who helped his teams behind the plate and in the batter’s box.
