Hey baseball fans!<\/p>\n

Remember in my Gary Carter post<\/a> where I said to stalk my blog like a hawk for new posts? Well, the reason I said that was because I was making a reference to another Expo Hall of Famer,Andre Dawson<\/a><\/strong>!<\/p>\n

Andre “The Hawk” (got his nickname because his uncle said that he attacked ground balls like a hawk at a very young age). Dawson, ended his 21-year major league career with the Expos, Cubs, Red Sox, and Marlins from 1976-1996 with a .279 lifetime batting average, 438 career home runs, 314 stolen bases, and 1,591 RBIs. Known for his outstanding defense in center field and right field, the eight-time Gold Glove Award winner won NL Rookie of the Year with Montreal in ’77 and NL MVP in 1987 with Chicago. The eight-time All Star actually underwent 12 knee surgeries during his career, making him the modern-day Mickey Mantle<\/a><\/strong>: got injured a lot and still put up great stats. He is just the second of four players (along with Willie Mays<\/a><\/strong>, Barry Bonds<\/a><\/strong>, and Alex Rodriguez<\/a><\/strong>) to be part of the 400HR\/300SB club. He was elected into Cooperstown in 2010.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Overall, Andre is one of the greatest players in history and probably the best Expo outfielder of all time. Anyway, thanks for reading this post and I hope you enjoyed it. Check back in a couple of days for more of “all the buzz on what wuzz.”<\/p>\n
