Alex Gordon is Eddie van Halen.
Alex skipped AAA-ball and
ERUPTED onto the scene at a very young age.
But then he kind of sucked (remember "Women and Children First" ?

) and Jamie Bluma was cryin.
So he was down in the minors for a while (the Hagar years) but then came back with a vengeance and went on to have a stellar career.
Much like Eddie, Alex started out playing a different position (drums on 3rd base) but ended up being lead guitar in left field.
Alex is known for his signature move, which is JUMPing to make a catch, causing the ball to be like "you really got me".
Also Alex was born in
1984.
