Matt Stairs
He was an integral member of the 2008 World Series Champion Phillies; As of his retirement in 2011, he held the record for most pinch hit homeruns in MLB history (23)
Stairs' career is notable not only for his power-hitting but also for the sheer number of teams he played for. He holds the record for playing for more MLB teams than any other position player, having suited up for 12 different franchises (13 teams, including both the Montreal Expos and Washington Nationals). His journeyman career saw him contribute to teams across both leagues, and his ability to adapt to different roles and situations made him a sought-after player throughout his career. Stairs' versatility and professionalism earned him the nickname "Matt Stairs – Professional Hitter."
As a Canadian, Stairs is one of the most accomplished power hitters in the history of Canadian baseball. He was the second Canadian-born player to hit more than 35 home runs in a season and one of only a few to hit more than 25 home runs and drive in over 100 runs in back-to-back seasons. Alongside Canadian baseball legends like Larry Walker, Justin Morneau, and Joey Votto, Stairs ranks among the top in several power-hitting categories for Canadian players. His contributions to the game were recognized when he was inducted into the Canadian Baseball Hall of Fame in 2015.
Stairs' legacy as a clutch hitter and his contributions to Canadian baseball have cemented his place in the sport's history. His ability to deliver in high-pressure situations, particularly as a pinch hitter, made him a fan favorite and a respected figure in the baseball community. His career serves as a testament to the value of perseverance, adaptability, and professionalism in professional sports.
