Your Random Mid 80's to Early 90's Baseball Player of the Day is: Mike Greenwell!

Your Random Mid 80's to Early 90's Baseball Player of the Day is Mike Greenwell, the winner of the 1988 American League MVP Award the runner up for the 1988 American League MVP. Award which he totally would have won had Jose Canseco not been inserting buffalo testosterone into his gigantic ass. In fact, let's just refer to Mike Greenwell as the 1988 American League MVP Award winner.

How do we know Mr. Greenwell was not inserting buffalo testosterone into his ass? We know because the dude wrestled fucking alligators. Wrestled. Fucking. Alligators. Coincidentally, this is how Mr. Greenwell earned himself the nickname "Gator". Although the nickname "bad ass motherfucker who wrestles fucking alligators" would have sufficed as well.

Additionally, he and Wade Boggs (also not juiced, except for 1987) had a running competition to see who could give the meaner moustache ride. Unfortunately for Greenwell, it looks like he was the runner up in that one, too. But at least Greenwell can hold onto the fact that he was the best person in that contest who wasn't a sex addict.

Mr. Greenwell's 1988 line of a .325 average, 22 home runs, and 116 RBI's would be the crowning achievement in an otherwise lackluster career with the Boston Red Sox and Hanshin Tigers. Mr. Greenwell would never again hit more than 15 home runs or knock in 100 runs again.

While most once mediocre baseball players would see their star fade and fall into the great unknown, Mr. Greenwell had all desire to spit in the face of that trend. For Mr. Greenwell, wrestling alligators and winning American League MVP awards would not be enough.

In 2006, Mr. Greenwell made his Craftsman Truck Series debut driving late model stock cars.

Mr. Greenwell is also the proprietor of "Mike Greenwell's Bat-A-Ball & Family Fun Park" in beautiful picturesque Cape Coral, Florida. "Mike Greenwell's Bat-A-Ball & Family Fun Park" includes such attractions as: "14 Different Go-Cart Tracks", "19 Hole Minature Golf", "Large Arcade Room", "Paintball Field", "Fish Feeding Dock", "8 Batting Cages", "Playground" and "Snackbar." With all that amusement, it's amazing Mr. Greenwell has time for anything else.

Mr. Greenwell has also extended his brand into the Latin American Sector by making appearances on Telemundo for a "ProBatter Video Simulator Pitcher".





Here's to you Mike Greenwell, you may have been cheated out of an American League MVP Award by Jose Canseco, but you've truly achieved the American Dream.
