1991 was by far Wes Chamberlain's best season, as he hit career highs in nearly every offensive category. After playing 70 games with the Red Sox in 1994 and 1995, Wes bounced around the Royals', Blue Jays', Pirates' and Mets' organizations, but never made it back to the Majors. He played briefly in Japan (1996) and spent time playing in the independent Northern League where he was named an All-Star in 2000 and 2003.
Did You Know?: Wes was traded by the Red Sox to the Royals for former Phillie Chris James on August 14, 1995

This was my brother's favorite player when he was on the Phillies. I still have no idea why.
