With his blazing speed Marquis Grissom was a demon on the basepaths, twice leading the National League in Stolen Bases as an Expo. Grissom was also quite adept utilizing his speed patrolling the outfield, as he would earn two of his four Gold Gloves in Montreal. The Expos were unable to keep Grissom and was unloaded to the Braves in 1995, where he won a World Series Ring. Grissom had 747 Hits with 266 Stoken Bases.
