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...
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!
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.

He's still in Cooperstown. There's that.
@@xanzibar5374 just today a co worker of mine went to cooperstown for hall of fame ceremony and got me a paul molitor auto ball thats why im here
well i got the ball today he went within this last week
Paul Molitor was a solid player.
one of the most underrated player ever
Man Molitor was the purest contact I ever saw next to Tony Gwynn. Wade boggs and ichiro were great also
Just changed out paul's furnace today, very cool guy
.341 BA 225 hits at 40 years old
Moreover, he drove in 113 RBIs with 9 homerun lol
I was always amazed at the power he made from almost no step... just a pivot.
All in the hips.
@@badcornflakes6374 yup it’s all about bat speed
Molitor had a year with the Twins where he had nine home runs, but 113 RBIs
Game 1 82 WS he went 5/5...first player to ever do it.
Paul Molitor was God's gift to the hit-and-run.
Yep
Such a crime that he didn’t spend his entire career in Milwaukee. At least he ended up with a championship, he deserved that.

most beautiful swing and fastest bat I ever saw.... what a dream it was having him on that 1993 Toronto World Series team!
He runs it out even on a homerun. Nice hustle
My favourite Brew Jay
Also you left out that Molitor was the World Series winning run in 1993
I love Molly too but Rickey was on second living in a stupid man's head.
It was an absolute pleasure to see Molly as a Blue Jay.
So many runs... it's easy to forget!
@@NormAppleton After ducking continually to turn a strikeout into a walk thanks to his reputation. Nah, not so much respect from me for him.
The standup double for the first hit in the Skydome was unreal. Nobody does that. And on that fast turf!
A straight steal of home might be my favorite play in any sport.
He was 3 times the player that was Jeter.
jeter is just famous cause the yankees put jeter in other team
One of my favorite players thanks for the video
The 1993 World Series' MVP.
He deserved the rookie of the year award not Lou Whitaker
Such a quiet batting stance.
Just swivel those hips... It helps of course if you have forearms like Popeye.
Gamer!
One Paul Molitor > ten Barry Bonds
We all know what happens next, we’ll don’t we?
Had he stayed healthy he could have gone after Pete Rose’s all time hit record. He spent the equivalent of 3 seasons on the disabled list
dude could just flat out hit
#lillastaylive
Should have taken steroids...would have stayed healthy
