Portly and popular, John Kruk was a member of the Philadelphia Phillies squad that went to the 1993 World Series.  Kruk was only with Philadelphia for five and a half seasons but in three of those (1991 to 1993) he went to the All-Star Game based primarily on his excellent batting eye.  In two of those seasons, he had a .300 Batting and .400 On Base Percentage season and he finished second in both 1992 & 1993 in OBP.  It is worth noting that Kruk received (though not many) MVP votes in 1991, 1992, and 1993.  Arguably he is the most known of the 1993 National League Pennant winners, with the possible dubious exception of Mitch Williams.

With the Phillies, Kruk smacked 62 Home Runs and batted .309 with 790 Hits.  The team inducted Kruk into their Philadelphia Baseball Wall of Fame in 2011.
