Name a semi star or common who's treated like a star in your area

BBCgalaxee · Dec 11, 2015

Is there a current or past player (common or low level) who is treated as a star in your area?

Maybe the player had a moment of glory (Chris Burke? Sid Bream?) or was good but not great (Dan Gladden?)

There's many in the New York area for sure such as Mickey Rivers, Chris Chambliss, Tino Martinez, Ron Darling, Mookie Wilson, Sid Fernandez etc etc

Jeez, the Giants still love Pat Burrell, Cody Ross, Marco Scutaro, Mike Morse and even Sandoval. Some big moments for their world series wins

Sean Casey "The Mayor" here in Cincy.

In Toronto Munenori Kawasaki got rock star treatment whenever he got called up. John McDonald was also hugely popular, dubbed "The Prime Minister of Defense."

He was my first guess.

Todd Frazier almost has Casey-Mayor status too.

Fordman

I've interacted with Kawasaki before at minor league games, and it's all deserved, he is without a doubt my favorite nonMet player!

Aaron Boone... talk about one moment of fame.

The fan base in Colorado really loves Ryan Spilborghs. Now that he works for ROOT sports and is at every game he's always hanging around the broadcast booth in the outfield. Always has been a very approachable guy and is super sincere with all the fans.

Craig Counsell is probably the biggest one around here - I still hear people talk about Ryan Roberts as well.

Carlos Ruiz.

At least he was, man, did the fans love him!

Roy White.

Shane Victorino in Hawaii. He's a superstar here and always comes home during the offseason to do tons of charity work and is very friendly in the community. He lives in Las Vegas now, but he still spends a lot of time in the islands.

Kolton Wong is getting that way.

Kurt Suzuki to a lesser extent. But Victorino is the man here.

With a lackluster franchise history there's a handful of guys: Gantner, Gorman, really anyone who was a member of the team that lost a World Series lol
-More recently Deer, Sveum, Higuera, guy in my sig
-guys who will be viewed as "Milwaukee Legends" in a few years when nostalgia kicks in: Sheets, Jenkins, probably Nyjer Morgan

Both were good for a little while though. I think of Sexson more with the Ms than the Brewers
