Paul Molitor

The 1987 campaign showcased everything that made "Molly" special. That .353 average came during his age-30 season, when most players start declining. Instead, he peaked, posting a 1.003 OPS while playing multiple positions with typical versatility.

Twenty-one seasons and a .306 career average later, Molitor had redefined what it meant to be a professional hitter. He reached base consistently, ran the bases brilliantly, and aged gracefully — turning himself from a promising infielder into a Hall of Fame designated hitter who never forgot how to manufacture runs.
