Most of the annual blue collar fan favourites aren't good at baseball. (see Goins, Ryan; Kawasaki, Muninori; MacDonald, John)
Personally - I too enjoy watching fringe players contribute at the ML level....even if it's a short term thing, fueled by the BABIP & baseball gods. I mean these guys have worked their asses off for so long, typically squeezing every ounce of talent out of their talent deficient bodies. It's nice to see them be rewarded from time to time.
