Jimmy Rollins, nicknamed “J-Roll”, is an American former professional baseball shortstop, who played in Major League Baseball (MLB) for the Philadelphia Phillies (2000–2014), Los Angeles Dodgers (2015), and Chicago White Sox (2016). Rollins was drafted by the Phillies in the second round of the 1996 MLB draft and made his big league debut on September 17, 2000. In 2001, he became the Phillies’ leadoff hitter, a role he retained for almost ten years. Rollins made three All-Star Game appearances in his career. Rollins was named the National League (NL) Most Valuable Player (MVP) in 2007, as the Phillies won their division in the first of five consecutive seasons. He was also a key component of the 2008 World Series champion team that defeated the Tampa Bay Rays. In his career, Rollins led the NL four times in triples, and once each in runs, stolen bases, and stolen base percentage. Rollins won the Gold Glove Award four times, as well as winning the Silver Slugger Award and the Roberto Clemente Award.
