Ludwick is ninth in the NL in RBI's. I think he's doing okay. Cunningham isn't better.

For the year he is hitting .326 on the road and has led the Padres to one of the best road records in the NL. So road "hero" is apt.

So road "hero" is apt. Heros should be saved for those who save lives and fight for our country. Not some bozo on the diamond who can't hit squat at home and hits pretty well on the road. Mud Grant was talking last night about him that Ludquist grew up in the heat/humidity and maybe that's why he hits well in that environment and not here.

Ever hear of Guitar Hero? Whether he is a hero or not on the road has nothing to do with what he does at home. Hero from World English Dictionary definition #2: A man who is idealized for possessing superior qualities in any field.
But you are taking the words too seriously. It was used mainly because it rhymes with zero. "Hero" is a good example of a word that has a much more broad scope than its general usage would indicate.
