Clete Boyer
Clete Boyer was an infielder for the Yankees, Braves, and Kansas City Athletics. Clete had his best years with the Yankees. The Yankees picked him up in 1959. Boyer’s best season was in 1967 with the Braves when he hit 26 home runs with 96 runs batted in. He also won two World Series rings with the Yankees. One in 1961 and a second in 1962. Boyer’s main career highlight besides the World Series rings is the Gold Glove he picked up in 1969 with the Braves. Boyer played his last game in the Majors with the Braves. At the end of his career, Boyer had accumulated 162 home runs, 654 RBIs, 200 doubles, a .242 batting average, and 1,396 hits over 1,725 career games. Boyer sadly died in 2007 at the age of 70. Even though he is gone, his legacy lives on in die-hard Yankee fans’ hearts.
Jake Arrieta, Zack Greinke, or Clayton Kershaw
During the 2015 baseball season, the National League saw many great pitchers like Gerrit Cole, Michael Wacha, and Max Scherzer. But Jake Arrieta, Zack Greinke, and Clayton Kershaw really stood out. Zack Greinke pitched 45.2 consecutive scoreless innings while posting a 1.66 ERA. Jake Arrieta led the Chicago Cubs to a playoff birth by winning 22 games and pitching a no-hitter. Clayton Kershaw had anothe monster year posting a 2.13 ERA and striking out 301 batters. All these pitchers have 2 things in common: they led their teams to the playoffs and are all fighting for the National League Cy Young award. As you can see, these pitchers have a great career in front of them and are capable of winning the Cy Young award.
