When it comes to baseball players named Bronson, few can hold a torch to former Cincinnati Reds legend Bronson Arroyo. After coming to the Reds from the Boston Red Sox in exchange for Wily Mo Peña, Arroyo unfurled his cornrows and unleashed leg-kicks and frisbees, successfully keeping hitters off-balance as the resident rotation anchor for 279 starts in the uniform.
In a career that spanned 16 seasons, Arroyo logged over 2400 innings and made 383 starts, earning a bid to an All Star Game, winning a Gold Glove, and logging some consolation votes in both the Cy Young and MVP races.
