Now maybe they'll talk about us more than the Cubs.
"Timothy Raines", nicknamed ""Rock"", is an United States/American professional baseball coach and former player. He played as a left fielder in Major League Baseball for six teams from 1979 to 2002 and was best known for his 13 seasons with the Montreal Expos. He is regarded as one of the best batting order (baseball)/leadoff hitters and baserunning/baserunners in baseball history. In 2013, Raines began working in the Toronto Blue Jays organization as a roving outfield and baserunning instructor.
Raines is the 1986 List of Major League Baseball batting champions/NL batting champion, a seven-time Major League Baseball All-Star Game/All-Star, and four-time List of Major League Baseball stolen base champions/stolen base champion. He also has the most stolen bases by a switch-hitter and the most by any player who has not been inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame/Hall of Fame.

Frank could hit with one leg and one arm, that's how talented he is as a hitter. I've played with a lot of great players and I've played against a lot and he's the best I ever saw. You don't come across special players like that often. You're fortunate if you do.
They kicked our butts last year. They have a chance to win the pennant, but unless you're from the West Coast, nobody knows about that.
When I played, teams didn't have as many (pitchers) who slide stepped (to home plate) as they do today.
And they're speeding up more to home plate to give the catcher an opportunity. It's almost impossible if you don't get a good jump. If you have a catcher who can throw the ball well, it's almost impossible to steal.
It's important to forget about last year. This is a whole new season. Last year, no one gave us a chance. This year, we are expected to win.
We still have a lot of hard work to do. We'll go home and get ready for whatever the National League sends us.
It's always a great feeling. We've been close a couple of times, and in 1994 were robbed by the strike. But you never give up.
