Mediocre Major League Baseball Players -- Jim Gosger
Jim Gosger busted his butt each and every second to make the most of his limited Major League Baseball ability. Sort of like a Pete Rose without the batting skills or aberrant behavior, Gosger ended up with a .226 career average playing for the Boston Red Sox, Kansas City and Oakland Athletics, New York Mets and Montreal Expos from 1963 to 1974. He was an excellent outfielder -- playing all three positions -- and occasional first baseman, making only 17 errors in 590 games. This scrappy player could have been legendary if he could only hit. Could you imagine if you combined Jim Gosger and Manny Ramirez into one player -- you'd have one of the greatest hitters with a work ethic beyond reproach! That this middling baseball player could last 11 years in the majors speaks volumes about the value of someone who works hard for the team.
