Rey Ordoņez, Acrobat In Spikes

Rey Ordoņez...

In his seven years in the major leagues, Rey Ordonez has established himself to be one of the most skillful and unique shortstops. With his quickness and strong arm, Ordoņez is often turning heads with this edge of your seat style defense.

Revered as the "Best in the biz" by noneother than the reputable Ozzie Smith, Ordoņez has the makings to go down in history as one of the best shortstops ever. Though weak with a bat, Ordoņez brings back the dynamics of old time baseball. There is a level of elate that is generated from his style of defense, a level more exciting than any homerun. Ordoņez has all but earned a full time spot on the highlight reel and looks to utlize such skill in 2003. Go Rey!
