One of the most under-appreciated players ever. Sweetest swing, smart, and all hustle. Was such a treat growing up in Milwaukee watching him play. He played a long time despite all the injuries, so I think 4000 hits would have been possible if he stayed healthy throughout!
Most overlooked player by fans in the history of baseball. 1987 was also the biggest snub in All star game history. He finished the season batting .353 with 42 doubles...
As a fan of the Brewers, I agree, but it wasn't Molitor's choice to leave Milwaukee (not that you said it was). The Brewers released him as a free agent and offered less money than they had been paying him; the Jays offered twice as much and it ended up being worth every cent. Also, it's great that he ended his career playing for his home team.
