Juan Pierre's load management program was called "just play every game for 5 years while averaging 201 hits, 58 stolen bases, and 38 strikeouts each season"
Man, Juan Pierre never got the respect he deserved
- Only player ever with 2,200 hits & no AS games
- He never got hurt. never sat.
... but 1 wild thing I found, he is 1 of 13 guys w/ 500 SB & less than 500 SO
• 12 were born during the civil war
• and juan pierre
This is crazy to hear someone say that I was their idol. I never was a superstar or the main guy on a team so this was a big surprise when I heard this. Wishing LB a monster season playing in front of his hometown team!

Juan Pierre was a magician with the bat relative to the short game. Here he takes a softball slapper approach to get the ball by a third baseman who is up to take the bunt away. This doesn’t happen by chance. Talk to his teammates & they’ll tell you no one worked smarter or
Not enough people talk about Brett Butler
• .290 BA, .377 OBP, 558 SB, 49.7 WAR
• More walks (1129) than strikeouts (907)
• Led league in hits 1x, runs 2x, triples 4x
• 8th all time in career games played in CF
• Reached 100 runs 6x, 40 SB 5x, 90 BB 5x
• Hit at least .293
Man I loved playing the game!!! I tell younger guys all the time it's something about playing everyday to be counted on by your teammates not a better feeling!

DID YOU KNOW: From 2003-2005, Juan Pierre played in all 503 of the Marlins’ regular-season and playoff games

That's our very random stat of the day.
Got inducted to Mobile Hall of Fame last night and would not be the man I am today without these two. My parents have always had my back! I thank God for them. A lot of people have poured into my career and I thank everyone! This one is for y’all!

14 years ago today, Juan Pierre went yard for 1 of his 18 career HRs in a 6-3 Cubs win at Wrigley Field.
Fun fact: Pierre had more SBs than Ks in 10 of his 14 MLB seasons.
Crazy!!! Darryl Strawberry Tony Gwynn Kenny Lofton were my idols and I don't come close to those guys so to hear someone say that about me is just crazy!!!
#Unbelievable
One of the places where it all began for me!! South Alabama Jags!!! Great to be back in Mobile a lot has changed!! Drafted in 1998 it’s been 20yrs since I’ve played here. Man I’m getting old!!!

Respect ✊🏿👊🏿🙏🏿
I miss those days. That’s the part of the game I loved was the grind. The stuff I did when no one was watching. Uncle Maury Wills was the bes! for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap.” Galatians 6:7 NKJV Kids whatever you put into it is what you get out of it!!
Pierre was also a grinder. Saw him spend extra time with Maury Wills at ST 08, long after everyone had cleared the fields, just working on bunting and leading off.
Not to often you get to meet your childhood hero
@chibbs_1
aka Kenny Anderson he was baad man!! Prayers for him as he is recovering from stroke a little over a month ago. Still can’t believe I met him! Thanks for the pic! God bless you and your family
This is when it’s bigger than baseball!! You become family and that’s what
@DTrainMLB
is to me literally my brother. He will be the voice of baseball soon I’m predicting it 🙏🏿
