Craig Counsell Marquee

He scored from third on Édgar Rentería's single that won the 1997 World Series for Florida, and four years later, playing for Arizona, he was on second when Luis González's single won the 2001 World Series against the Yankees — the same base-running role in the deciding moment of two different championships four years apart. He was named Most Valuable Player of the 2001 League Championship Series.

Sixteen seasons gave him 1,208 hits, 218 doubles, 647 runs batted in, 589 walks and a .255 average, playing 574 games at second base, 478 at shortstop and 385 at third for five clubs. He was never a star hitter but was consistently useful at whichever infield position a club needed.

He managed the Brewers from 2015 to 2023 and the Cubs after that, building a reputation as one of the more analytically inclined managers in the game. He is not on a Hall of Fame ballot as a player.
