b. December 1, 1967 · Cincinnati Reds 1991–1998, San Diego Padres 1999, Atlanta Braves 2000, Arizona Diamondbacks 2001, San Francisco Giants 2002, Pittsburgh Pirates 2003, St. Louis Cardinals 2004–2005, Kansas City Royals 2006–2007

The 300-300 club has eight members: Barry Bonds, Alex Rodriguez, Willie Mays, Andre Dawson, Carlos Beltrán, Bobby Bonds, Steve Finley and him. He got there in seventeen seasons with 1,666 hits, 983 runs batted in, 341 doubles and a .267 average.

He was chosen for one All-Star team, in 1995, when he hit 28 home runs and stole 36 bases and finished sixth in the Most Valuable Player voting. Eight clubs employed him, five of them for a single season each, and he reached the postseason with six different ones.

Cincinnati had his first eight years, and he was in right field for the club that won 100 games in 1995. He won the World Series with Arizona in 2001. The 2013 ballot gave him no votes at all, which for a 300-300 career is the sort of result that says more about the ballot than the player.
