Shane Victorino

Stats – 8 years; 987 games; 998 hits; 88 HRs; 390 RBIs, 179 SB, 63 Triples

Awards – 2 All-Star Games, 3 Gold Gloves

Who could forget all of the incredible moments Shane Victorino provided for us. Like lightning in a bottle, his relentless playing style made the Rule 5 pick an instant fan favorite. He always had a smile on his face and lit-up the base-pads with his blazing speed.

His post season heroics stamp his place in Phillies lore. In 19 NLDS games he hit .306, including the grand slam against C.C. Sabathia in 2008 to break a 1-1 tie in Game Two.

His Gold Glove defense saved countless runs and the Flyin’ Hawaiian will forever be a fan favorite in the City of Brotherly Love.
