You've all heard about it already, but the guy deserves his own thread, despite his Game 7 error.

One of the best when I was growing up, plus we shared the same first name so that’s always fun

Here's the play . . . nice job by Bonilla (#Hawk) as a baserunner there.

Too bad this happened to a guy who had such a good glove, especially earlier in his career.

I think I remember Tony Kubek saying he was the best shortstop he ever saw.

Seemed great at the time. Nowadays.300 12 BBs and 1 HR is not too impressive

I don't know if he was the best defensive shortstop. But he was pretty damn good. Very slick, quick and fast. Great range. Got the ball out quick.

Certainly top 10 of all time.

He was a small/skinny guy. I always think the smaller guys make for the better defensive short stops.

Ozzie Guillen is underrated as a great defensive short stop. He made some great plays at short. Another little guy.
