| Luis Polonia was a speedy journeyman with a high batting average who played 12 years in the bigs. In the majors, Polonia played 919 games in the outfield, and although he had little power, was a DH for 222 games. His speed resulted in many triples but he was not a wise baserunner and led his league in times caught stealing five times (3 in the majors, 2 in the minors). He appeared in 1,379 MLB games with a .293 average. He was in the top five in triples four different times, and in the top five in stolen bases three times. Not a particularly strong defensive outfielder, he was once nicknamed "Catch 22" because if you'd hit him 100 fly balls, he'd catch 22 of them. He appeared in four World Series.
