- Tim Raines is one of the most under-appreciated players in MLB history. "Rock" was a 7-time All-Star, 2-time World Series champion, and lead the league in steals four times. He was must-see television.

I met Tim Raines on a golf course where I worked when he was playing for the Marlins and he looked like he was carved out of stone. His calves had right angles like a freaking brick or a cinder block lol. Ozzie Guillen was with him too . They were both really friendly but Raines looked like a running back or a body builder . Great baseball player !
Many of my best memories as a baseball and Expos fan are right in this video. ❤️😭
For sure, an electrifying player - the Expos are counting on him - the announcer says...yes he was such an integral part of the team!
Rock was disrespected by not being inducted his first year eligibility. He was dominant.
My dad admired Henderson, but said Rains was the best he'd seen.
HOF worthy for sure, he had the misfortune of playing at the same time as Rickey Henderson, or he'd have been in a lot sooner, and been more heralded. Playing in Montreal didn't help either
I'd forgotten he was a Yankee for a while. What a terrible blight on a wonderful career. ;)
He won 2 WS with the NYY. He’d never trade that for the world.
@@Nowthisispodracing4 yeah, but who didn't win 2WS with the Yankees in that era? LoL.
I live in Montréal saw him great guy great player but also great human thank you rock expos 4 life
2nd best lead-off hitter all-time I remember a game against the Mets he had 3 stolen bases and 2 homers since then I knew he was da truth
The Rock...highest stolen base percentage of all time!
I miss the stolen base
THE ROCK
Awesome compilation 👍
Better all around player than Henderson. Raines is the GOAT!
I discovered why there are no steals in today's game, too many people skipping leg day. Rock was built, notice that lower body shot about 20 seconds in. Baseball in the 80s was great.
I met him once playing golf and you notice right away that his calves are not like a typical person. He's a strong looking dude
@@abelincoln5698 That's awesome you met him. Rock Raines was a great ballplayer.
@@bradleyhamrick7018 I met a lot of players and former players working there. Mostly Reds and whoever was in town playing against them. Raines and Dave Parker stood out as big strong looking dudes.
If qualitative stats were better appreciated in the 80s, so would Tim Raines.
Tim raines.. Ricky henderson.. Eric Davis Darryl strawberry.. Ken Griffey Jr.. Frank Thomas... Kirby Puckett.. Dave Winfield... Can someone please tell me simply what happened to the black Superstar baseball player?
They transitioned surgically to Hispanic...The Left is behind it.
Football and basketball just got more popular. When I was in high school we only had a couple of black guys who played baseball. The rest played football and basketball.
I also think in poorer neighborhoods it's easier to get a game going with just a football or a basketball and a hoop. Other than buying gloves and bats "which can get expensive".
I know that's not all of it but I really think that plays a large part.
Powered by the finest coke the nation had to offer. He slid the way he did to protect the coke vial in his back pocket.
STUD
Raines was terrific his first 6 seasons but after that his stolen base attempts fell off a cliff. He still had a good SB percentage but he seemed to lose the motivation to steal bases dropping from at least 70 per season to 50 or below.
What
Lots of stolen bases against the Braves. I guess they couldn't hold runners that well.
Still do not believe he is HOF worthy, but he was a very good player, like his partner Andre Dawson & guys like Steve Garvey. The Hall of very,very good
Oh shut up not everyone is Mickey mantle and Willie mays
I like that he got in. He dominated the 80s.
Heck they let baines and jack Morris in so why not right??
