The Best Alou

Moises Alou picked up four hits tonight, and is hitting .345/.396/.529 on the season. His season age is 40 but he turned 41 in July. It's a remarkable career in that Alou is playing at this level despite a ton of serious injuries in his career. He suffered one of the ugliest broken legs I've seen in 1993 when his spike caught in artificial turf. I'll never forget the second baseman and umpire turning away in horror at the compound fracture.

Then after the 1998 season, he tore his ACL in his left leg and missed the entire season. In between both shoulder underwent surgery. And through it all Moises kept coming back and playing very well. Imagine what he would have accomplished with better health.
