Paul Molitor

Paul Molitor's path to baseball immortality took many strange twists and turns along the way. Hamstrung by a series of injuries early in his career, and a horrific cocaine addiction, Molitor developed a reputation for fragility, and at one time, it appeared as though his career was cursed and snake-bitten. But the soft-spoken native from St. Paul, Minnesota would persevere to achieve numerous milestones and baseball accolades. The seven-time All Star, with the smooth right-handed swing, outstanding base running skills, finished his career with a .306 average, and became just the fifth player in baseball history to collect 3.000 hits and swipe 500 bags. #PaulMolitor #MilwaukeeBrewers #TorontoBlueJays #MinnesotaTwins #RobinYount #DaveWinfield #JackMorris #GeorgeBamberger #HarveyKuenn #CecilCooper #GormanThomas #MikeFlanagan #CretinHighSchool #UniversityOfMinnesota #DickSeibert #DeeFondy #SalBando #BuckRodgers #JimGantner
