About Fred McGriff, Hall of Famer

Fred McGriff, nicknamed "Crime Dog," was a first baseman who played for six MLB teams from 1986 through 2004. One of the most consistent power hitters of the 1990s, he posted over 80 RBIs every year from 1988 through 2002 and became the first player since the dead-ball era to lead both leagues in home runs—the AL in 1989 and the NL in 1992. A five-time All-Star, McGriff won the 1994 All-Star Game MVP after his pinch-hit ninth-inning homer tied the game. After early success with Toronto and San Diego, he became central to the Atlanta Braves' dynasty, helping them win the 1995 World Series. He finished his career with 493 home runs and was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 2023.

Did you know? McGriff hit 20 or more home runs in fifteen seasons and became the first player to hit 30 home runs with five different teams.
