🌟 Tim Raines — Sanford, Florida; Rock; The Greatest Base Stealer You May Have Forgotten

Tim Raines was born September 16, 1959, in Sanford, Florida — Seminole County, Central Florida, the heart of the I-4 corridor that connects Daytona to Tampa, where the orange groves and the suburban development have long shared the landscape with the baseball diamonds where Florida produces more professional players per capita than almost anywhere in the country. Raines was a switch-hitting outfielder with extraordinary speed who arrived in the Montreal organization in the late 1970s and reached the major leagues in 1979. By 1981 he was already stealing bases at a pace that made him the most dangerous lead-off hitter in the National League — and the comparison that came up inevitably was Rickey Henderson, the greatest base stealer of all time, because Raines was right behind him, matching him at times in single-season totals, and demonstrating the same kind of combination of speed, instinct, and baserunning IQ.

🏆 808 Career Stolen Bases — 1986 NL Batting Champion — 7x All-Star

Tim Raines finished his career with 808 stolen bases — fourth on the all-time list behind Rickey Henderson, Lou Brock, and Billy Hamilton. His stolen base success rate of over 84% is among the highest for any player with as many career attempts in the history of the game. In 1986, he won the National League batting title with a .334 average, demonstrating that his value was not limited to speed but extended to on-base skills and contact ability that made him one of the most complete offensive players in the league. He was selected to seven All-Star Games. He played his best baseball in Montreal, in a blue Expos jersey, for a franchise that never won a World Series but that gave Quebec and Canada something to believe in during the 1980s and early 1990s.

⭐ New York Yankees World Series Champion — Hall of Fame 2017 — The Long Wait

Tim Raines won the World Series with the New York Yankees in 1996 and 1998, adding championship hardware to a career that already deserved Hall of Fame recognition. The wait for that recognition was long — ten years on the Baseball Writers ballot, the maximum allowed, before Raines finally received the 75% threshold with 86.4% of votes in 2017 and was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown. The ten-year wait is part of the Raines story — the case made by advanced statistics advocates, by the writers who argued for years that his value had been systematically underestimated, and by the fans who remembered watching him play in Montreal. He belongs in Cooperstown. The plaque is there now. This blue Expos jersey signed by Raines belongs on your wall. JSA authenticated. Framed at 35x39. Hang it today.
