The Outfielder played his first four seasons (1995-98) as an Indian before he moved to the National League with Pittsburgh, and in his four full seasons as a Pirate, he never had less than 35 Home Runs, 95 RBIs, or a .298 Batting Average. His On Base Percentage was over .400 in all of those seasons and received at least one MVP vote.
The Pirates traded him to San Diego during the 2003 season, and while his power declined, his plate discipline remained strong, with him leading the NL in Walks in 2005. Giles played until 2009, and he retired with 1,897 Hits, 287 Home Runs, and a career Slash Line of .291/.400/.501.
