Hi, Sierra: Look who's back: After a homeric odyssey through 14 teams in three nations, slugger Ruben Sierra has landed in Seattle, where his game is back in style If it wasn't obvious last season, when Sierra was voted American League Comeback Player of the Year by his fellow major leaguers, it's now as impossible to miss as one of the tropical-fruit-colored suits he wears to the ballpark: After blowing through 14 teams, 10 major league organizations and six leagues in three countries -- and that's only since 1995 -- Sierra is back in style. "Ruben's a great teammate and a real piece of work," says Seattle second baseman Bret Boone. "I've seen him wearing white belts and white shoes and all kinds of stuff. What's really impressive is that the guy was the man back in the '80s. And he really found out how humbling baseball is. For him to stick with it, riding the buses after he had been at the top, really tells you something about his passion for the game." -- Tom Verducci Issue date: May 6, 2002 Photograph by Brad Mangin
