About Mike Lowell
Michael Averett Lowell is a Puerto Rican former professional baseball third baseman. During a 13-year Major League Baseball (MLB) career, Lowell played for the New York Yankees (1998), Florida Marlins (1999–2005), and the Boston Red Sox (2006–2010). With the Red Sox, he was named MVP of the 2007 World Series. He also starred on the Marlins team that won the 2003 World Series, was a four-time MLB All-Star and won a Silver Slugger Award in 2003 and Gold Glove Award in 2005. Although Lowell debuted late in the season and did not play in the 1998 postseason, he still received his first career World Series ring as the Yankees won the World Series against the San Diego Padres. While waiting for spring training, Lowell discovered that he had testicular cancer and underwent surgery on February 21, returning to the lineup on May 29. He made his major league debut as a September call-up for the Yankees in 1998, singling in his first at-bat and playing eight games in the season.
