None are anywhere near as revered as Hernández, who has been the face of Mexican soccer over the last decade. The last Mexican player of this stature to play in MLS was Cuauhtemoc Blanco, who moved to the Chicago Fire in 2007 as a 34-year-old. Hernández was a third-generation soccer player. So long as he remains healthy, Hernández figures to be a productive player for the Galaxy, unlike the since-departed Gio dos Santos. And if the league can advance five strides instead of one because of Hernández, that should be considered a triumph.
