His 72 steals established a Phillies single-season record at the time, while his 19 triples led the National League. The remarkable campaign earned Samuel his first MLB All-Star selection and a second-place finish behind Dwight Gooden in National League Rookie of the Year voting.

Samuel followed his breakout season with another productive year in 1985, demonstrating the rare combination of power and speed that made him one of baseball's most entertaining players. He hit 19 home runs, stole 54 bases, and led the National League with 13 triples, giving him 126 stolen bases over his first two full Major League seasons.

A three-time MLB All-Star, Samuel enjoyed a 16-year Major League career and finished with 1,578 hits, 161 home runs, 396 stolen bases, and 102 triples. He later returned to the Phillies organization as a coach, extending his association with Philadelphia well beyond his playing career.
