Toronto Blue Jays Home Runs: 7
Player Rep: Scott Rolen

Toronto Blue Jay third baseman, Scott Rolen is considered to be one of the best fielding third baseman in Major League Baseball history. He’s earned this reputation by the seven Gold Glove awards he’s collected throughout his career; from 1998 through 2006. He is also a five time consecutive All-Star selection from 2002 through 2006, a 1997 National League Rookie of the Year, a 2002 Silver Slugger Award winner, and a 2006 World Series Champion with the St. Louis Cardinals.

Rolen’s best season arguably came in 2004 after he helped the Cardinals win a National League pennant. For much of the season, he led the National League in RBIs, earning him the highest vote total of any player for the All-Star Game. Despite being injured for the last stretch of that season, he finished the year with a career-high .314 batting average, 34 home runs, and 124 RBI. Rolen is a National co-chair of the PCF Home Run Challenge.
