That's cuz you only think he's foreign born: Adrian Gonzalez of Miami.

Adrian Gonzalez -- who was [u:kizfvzty]born in San Diego[/u:kizfvzty] actually and went to HS in Chula Vista despite doing at least some of his growing up in Mexico -- is in fact the #8 man at 309 He was initially drafted by Miami with the 1/1 pick in 2000

Well it was a good guess anyway

Alfonso Soriano

Edgy MD Jul 17 2017 07:23 PM Re: Quickie HR Quiz

I think Mr. Quizzmaster is saying that Adrian Gonzalez is correctamundo.

Frayed Knot Jul 17 2017 07:42 PM Re: Quickie HR Quiz

Yes. Also complicating matters is that Alfonso Soriano is neither active nor was he born in the U.S. of A.
