FanPost Friday: Your favorite Nelson Cruz moment
no, sir, we tip OUR hat to YOU Jennifer Buchanan-USA TODAY SportsNelson Cruz is back in Seattle this weekend for the first time since signing with the Minnesota Twins as a free agent. I have a huge soft spot in my heart for Cruz as a player and as a stand-up human being who uses his status and financial means for good in his home country of the Dominican Republic. Cruz outperformed every expectation I had for him as a Seattle Mariner and memorably put the team on his back and did everything he could to will the team into the playoffs down the stretch in 2016. As Mariners fans, we haven’t seen very many right-handed power hitters with a four-year run of making home run hitting look so effortless and confident in Seattle.
