We say happy birthday to Luis Gonzalez who was born in Tampa on this day in 1967.
Luis was a great hitter from very recent memory. He broke with Houston in 1990 and ended up with the D-Backs in 1999.
As you may remember, Luis had the winning hit in game 7 of the 2001 World Series over the Yankees. It kept the Yankees from winning their 4th straight title.
Luis put together some great numbers: .283 career batting average, 354 HR, and 1,439 RBI over 2,591 games.
He hit .298 over 8 years in Arizona. Great hitter!
