Samuel entered 1988 having already established himself as one of the National League's premier power-speed threats. His breakout came during his first full Major League season in 1984, when he batted .272 with 15 home runs, 69 RBIs, 19 triples, and 72 stolen bases. His 72 steals established a Phillies single-season record at the time, while his 19 triples led the National League. Samuel earned his first MLB All-Star selection and finished second in National League Rookie of the Year voting.
The 1987 season was one of Samuel's finest, as he batted .272 with career highs of 28 home runs and 100 RBIs, along with 15 triples and 35 stolen bases. His impressive combination of power and speed earned him his second National League All-Star selection.
Samuel remained a dangerous offensive weapon for Philadelphia in 1988, collecting 36 doubles, 12 home runs, and 33 stolen bases. His ability to produce extra-base hits while creating havoc on the bases made him one of the most distinctive middle infielders of his era.
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, continuing his long association with Philadelphia well beyond his playing career.
Personally signed by Juan Samuel, this 1988 Donruss Baseball's Best #215 is an excellent specialty issue for Phillies fans and collectors assembling a comprehensive run of Samuel's autographed cards.
