Vogie, Vogelstrong or whatever you want to call him — when it’s all set and done, he’s one hell of a Giant.
We all know his story. Drafted by the Giants, bounces around for a bit, season ending injury. He contemplates retirement, but decides to give it one more chance in Japan. Next thing you know, he’s got two World Series ring and will be forever enshrined in Giants lore.
His story is everything we love about sports. Setbacks and injuries that eventually all pay off, and why not with the team that drafted you? It was almost too good to be true.
