Summary: Chicago White Sox All-Star Outfielder Magglio Ordonez 2004-06-03
Comment: I do not think of Magglio Ordonez the right fielder of the White Sox as a premier base runner, but you have to admit this is a different sort of pose to use for a McFarlane Toys action figure. This 6" MLB Series 9 figure is clearly running the bases as opposed to being in a home run trot. You can decide if he is rounding second or third, but the cut is too sharp to be off of first base. The key detail on this figure is probably the batting glove flopping out of Ordonez's back pocket, though I sort of like the way his batting helmet is pulled down low.Magglio Ordonez has been named to the American League Al-Star team four times to date. Currently his lifetime batting average is .308 having had a career season (to date) in 2002 when he had personal highs in all of the Triple Crown categories: 38 homer runs, 135 RBIs, and a .320 average. A line drive hitter who sends a lot of balls into the gaps, Ordonez has totaled 70-plus extra-base hits for the past three seasons (with 69 and 67 totals the previous two years), and was only one home run short of making it to 30 dingers and 100 RBI's for the fifth season in a row last season. Ordonez is at least a decent base runner, who did have 25 steals in 32 tries in 2001, so the idea of him being out there on the base paths is not totally strange, just somewhat different. It would be ironic if White Sox fans finally get an action figure of their start during what could prove to be his last season. Ordonez's salary jumped from $9 million to $14 million this year, the final one in his current contract, and the White Sox have not been talking about a contract extension because of the franchise's financial limitations. Even though Ordonez is a popular, homegrown star for the White Sox, if the team is not in the race late in the season he could get traded before he becomes a free agent.
