As the Mobile BayBears prepared to close out a 23-year run in the city, the team began revealing its All-Time BayBears roster, and catcher Wiki Gonzalez earned a spot.
An early fan favorite at Hank Aaron Stadium, Gonzalez played seven seasons in the major leagues with the San Diego Padres, Seattle Mariners and Washington Nationals. His best big-league season came in 2001, when he hit .275 with eight home runs. He appeared in 130 games for Mobile over parts of three seasons.
The BayBears honored Gonzalez and other all-time greats ahead of the franchise’s final game at Hank Aaron Stadium.
