Dee Strange-Gordon might come to mind.

The infielder made his Major League Baseball debut in 2011 with the Los Angeles Dodgers, and because to his quickness and skillful glove in the middle of the diamond, he rapidly won over the fans.

His best season, in 2014, when he hit.289/.326/.378 with career highs of 12 triples and 64 stolen bases en route to his lone All-Star berth in blue, served as the capstone to his time in Los Angeles.

As part of a transaction that sent Austin Barnes, Kiké Hernandez, and other players to Los Angeles, the Dodgers moved him to the Miami Marlins. Before moving back to the west to play another three seasons with the Seattle Mariners, Strange Gordon played three seasons on the east coast with Miami.

His MLB career began to decline there, as he left Seattle having hit just.200/.268/.213 in 33 games during the abbreviated 2020 season.

He joined the Washington Nationals last season after sitting out 2021, hitting.305 in 22 games and displaying flashes of his former greatness in Los Angeles.

Strange-Gordon is continuing his career in an unusual manner because he hasn’t played in the majors this year.

On Sunday, he participated in an exhibition game for an MLB Players Alumni squad against the visiting Savannah Bananas baseball team.

A baseball team known for playing with unusual rules and amazing flair, the Bananas are best compared to the basketball club the Harlem Globetrotters.

It’s encouraging to see the former Dodger still playing baseball, even if it’s outside of Major League Baseball. Perhaps the 35-year-old will soon try to return to the major leagues.
