About Tim Raines, Hall of Famer

Tim Raines, nicknamed "Rock," played left field across a 23-year Major League career from 1979 to 2002, spending 13 seasons with the Montreal Expos. A seven-time All-Star and four-time stolen base champion, Raines earned a reputation as one of baseball's finest leadoff hitters and baserunners. He won the 1986 National League batting title with a .334 average and stole at least 70 bases in each of his first six full seasons. After his time in Montreal, Raines played for the Chicago White Sox, New York Yankees, Oakland Athletics, Baltimore Orioles, and Florida Marlins, capturing two World Series rings with the Yankees in 1996 and 1998. Raines was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 2017.
