- With a former major leaguer as a father, and a slew of cousins and uncles who played the game, Dee Gordon was pretty much destined to become a baseball player. Except he kept resisting, and was almost tempted to pursue playing college basketball. But eventually, Gordon relented and fulfilled his destiny. Now he’s one of the best young infielders in baseball. VICE Sports sat down to talk with Gordon about his journey to becoming an All Star.

U know I never wanted to play baseball but I tried it and made the major leagues. - Dee Gordon
WTF does that have do with anything. Also soccer players are actors.
Its the biggest because its the simplest and easiest sport. So anyone can play it.
True
@MANCHESTER UNITED Baseball isn't just played in America and Canada you know. And if you insist that soccer is more popular than go watch that
MANCHESTER UNITED btw, you do realize that soccer isn’t played in over 240 countries
1:17 That just proves how good of a person this man is. Any other boys would LOVE to live with his father than with his grandmother. Dee had the heart to put his Grandma first.
"First coach.. also my first cousin" i lost it😭💀
You're in the majors and not convinced you are good at baseball?
Alfred Miranda it is for us, but for a pro?
niko manos he was a speedster so he might have been moving up because of the speed
he did roids, so..
@MANCHESTER UNITED Did I ask?
we miss Dee, here in Los Angeles
***** I can't believe the Dodgers traded him. I remember watching him not get a lot of playing time with the Dodgers and the little he did play you could tell he was going to be a great player. I was absoultley shocked when they traded him. I'm a long time Giants fan and was hoping we could pick him up, but for whatever reason we like giving contracts to washed up greats way past their prime. Any idea why the Dodgers didn't keep him?
***** he's great with his glove, improved his batting AVG last year, and whenever he gets walked or singles, he can end up in scoring position.
***** Man, to be honest I have no idea whats going on with the trades and minor league prospects..I don't have a t.v and only go to games every other week.
Lol jesus that's an amazing line up
***** I never realized that his dad was a really good player too.
The man has them wheels, miss him as a Dodger.
This guy like 1 2 skip afew 99 cousins...
Fun player to watch
Do you like the cardinals to? Go cardinals
Ethantheman 1476 Fuck the cardinals, just now proved they are CHEATERS!
hmm ok
You're a pathetic dude, cb 😂
who is fun to watch
Why does vice try and paint a picture that this kid grew up poor by showing all those shitty houses of where his extended family lived in the beginning? His dad played for the damn Yankees....and his grandma has a mansion which is who he ACTUALLY lived with. How about showing the outside of the house he actually was raised in?...not the poor neiborhoods of his extended family...
right. according to baseball reference, flash gordon accumulated over 50 million dollars in salary alone.
Mike Mezz whats the issue?
Who cares what their houses look?
shut the fuck up dumbass racist
Winslow Perry how is he racist ?
The Fact that he actually went to my school is amazing he ain’t a Mariner he is still a Avon Park Red Devil⚾️
Ain't no girls go to baseball games :'D
+David Anderson -white person
+AIRSCOTTKING *gay person
All the white girls with the phat asses go there you’re missing out bud
One of my favorite players right here lets go Dee
Lol
That moment when you grew up 5 minutes away from him
When vice fails to mention he played college ball in Florida at Southeastern University (a private christian school and one of the top NAIA athletic schools in the nation)... 🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️
Used to watch him here in Albuquerque -- what an exciting ball player! Glad he became a success.
were gonna miss you in la but you staton and fernandez are gonna shake up the east coast. take it to the post season yall
Peytonsbeard RIP😭
Peytonsbeard not Fernandez😭
I hate Fernandez... or should I say hated
Dylan Charles fuck you bitch
None of those guys are in Miami anymore, damn
Many Seattle Mariners fans here are very glad to have Dee Gordon on our team now.
2015 All-Star NL second baseman! Dee Gordon!
He's going to kill it this year for the Marlins!
+Regencyandrei2 how right you were
I've played against his cousin. He plays for Avon Park. I play for Desoto. We're both pretty decent teams.
Brightest spot on the Marlins right now. Dee's Awesome!
1:07 oooooh noo grumma
i used to watch his pops pitch in fenway. better closer than starter imo. ;-).. great pitcher.
Dee is the man
Dee has a tremendous approach at the plate.
Dee we r all ready missing u
if u can can u plz come back to la?
Don't know what the dodgers were thinking when they traded him this guy is a unique talent i know they regrets this move
Dee Gordon From my Home Town of Avon Park Florida
I took a Picture with him when he was doing this Documentary about him
You should see Dee run he's like as fast as a Jet
I don't see anybody hating on Nelson Cruz for PEDS but Gordon's a bigger name so they hate
Griff Oliver boii stfu Nelson Cruz is way more popular then Dee Gordon
He just got suspended for 80 games for using PEDs so I guess the video title makes sense.
He got suspended
Barry Bonds is the hitting coach coincidence?
People talk about dee like he doesnt know how to play baseball and he just used some magic substance which made him good. He is 150 lbs!!! He probably needed it to compete
Such a nice guy.
my highschool plays the highschool dee attended in many sports
I moss watching clayton kershaw and dee gordon together in the Great Lakes Loons
Sucks hearing see was using peds. I still love u man great inspiration and great Christian
Who cares if he's Christian you people always bringing that shit up
+Noah Raymond hahaha 😂😂😂
Noah Raymond I gues the guy who brought it up
Dee Gordon’s bringing the electricity to Seattle now 😎
Thank God Dee got closer to home when he signed with the Marlins
I'm glad we got Dee
He never wanted to play, thats why he got himself kicked out by PEDs
Makes me sad. I really like the guy.
Homie you a drug lord why you talking
+Dat Boi racist
I never want to play baseball...I want to live it.
Severin Beastmode love you man
Motivation ⚾⚾⚾😍☝⛽
How is that motivation?
0:39 another one
Natural talent
thank god he plays for the Marlins!!!! Thank you Dodgers. #GoMarlins
My Favorite player
And they say u need to want baseball to make it far
The only reason I don't like Dee Gordon is because he is the only reason my character hasn't reached the MLB in the show 17.
Professor Daddy what do you mean?
Professor Daddy Just make the players in that position 1 overall and you’ll be there in no time
My dad did the same thing
Man profound respect
dee Gordon is the big factor for this Seattle team and hely maby Jay Bruce if we get him
Little did he know in about 2 1/2 years he would lose his best friend on that baseball team, RIP Jose Fernandez
I'd like to thank dee Gordon for getting me to 15 in beat the streak 😂
Have fun in Seattle!
SWAGGY DEE
that's definitely one trade I'd love to have back. I miss in LA and so does the Dodgers. bad trade!
still played in back to back fall classics so I guess not
There were always pretty girls at my baseball games, back in High School.
There was one smoking hot girl at my game. I hit a double off the wall.
good for him
sry for ur loss dee gordon
lmao girls love the baseball pants, he must of went to a small school
2019. Anyone
I Love watching cats that have wheels.
Billy Hamilton just needs to get on base more and he’d be the most exciting player in the Game.
If he got on base more the Reds wouldn’t have traded him. Lol
He's got a slight build. Baseball is all about technique.
Love you Dee!
I swear to god Avon park fl I swear I’m from there ong I didn’t know he from there that’s the smallest place in Florida
same ✊🏽
I don't he is in Miami
Those two men in the stands look like the type to reveal the secrets of the game to you and make you the kid who only hit homers
he the only one to make it outta highlands
Killing it for the Ms 👌
San Francisco Giants should trade for Dee Gordon
Haha hes says Aunt like " Unt"
Dee Gordon is now on the mariners
Dee has a brother that plays for the Chattanooga Lookouts
Can’t believe the Dodgers traded Dee, unbelievable player.
Well now he won't have to for a good few months or so.
AAU baseball?
I guess he didn't want play baseball. Just abuses the game.
lol
he doesnt want to play he wants to cheat
Wyatt Seim what you guys don't realize is everyone takes steroids during their career whether they have been caught or not. I guarantee your favorite player has taken steroids sometime during their career get the fuck over it
Text Cortex you get it man
You hating because you never made it peds does not make you a better player their is a whole bunch of trash players who took steroids
His cousin is wearing a cardinals hat!! :D
Wow a normal size baseball player. Wonder why......?
What are you implying?
He's not using anything. (Yet)
There are normal sized players. A majority of athletes in the big three sports are of above average size. That's just because of the abilities that come with being bigger. But I get your point, steroids are prevalent in baseball.
BHammer the majority of baseball players are close to this size honestly. Yes the game has gotten a rep for juicers but the vast majority of guys are clean. I've heard estimates that only on 9/10 of baseball players never even try to use PED's anymore
Did Erik Garffron just fucking 9/10 that's almost all man
anyone else notice the superman sticker or whatever on his bat
Y’all know he’s Flash Gordon’s Son?
Tom Gordon
old man rocking polo
Holy crap that old white dude in the stands on the left is my uncle
Dee gordens amazing
damn he a good dude
Another great player my team traded away from Miami
Lmao I have the same exact glove as him
A2000
I wonder what his 40 time and 100m time is.
Dee Gordon is a stud muffin
Dodgers sent away a young man to add to oldies.
Prob new he was on roids
How tf u basically start playing baseball at 16 and make it to the majors well some people play since they was 3 and dont make it?? Btw much love for Dee n hate
Isaac Garcia It’s because some people are born to make it. Dee is a one of a kind
Deeeezz Nutz, gotteem
Bow hello
Dang his mom never got to see her son get to the big leagues
Peds are great
This Year: He was suspended
who is fun to watch
:42 sweet home Alabama
For real
can somebody line my boy up tho

Half the girls at my school go for baseball players, I'm in luck
