About Shane Victorino Memorabilia & Collectibles

 

Nicknamed “The Flyin’ Hawaiian” and “The Pineapple Express”, Shane Victorino was born on November 30, 1980 in Wailuku, Hawaii and plays for the Philadelphia Phillies in the Major League Baseball.

 

Victorino is known for his incredible speed and wonderful throwing ability. Back in high school, he has played for the track team thus honing his running skills for baseball. His records show consistent 3.7- 3.8 sec from home base to right- handed. With his strong arm, he has a record of 24 career outfield assists.

 

He began his career when the Los Angeles Dodgers drafted him in the sixth round in the 1999 amateur draft. He since then spent most of his time in minor leagues. Victorino replaced Bobby Abreu in right field when the latter was traded to the New York Yankees in 2006 and then became a starting player. Next, he replaced Aaron Rowand who that time left by free agency to the San Francisco giants in the center field.

 

The Phillies celebrated what is known as “Shane Victorino Day” on June 3, 2007 by having Victorino hula figurines and by flying his father from Maui for the game. He ended the said game with a walk- off home run in the bottom of the ninth inning against the Giants. One notable achievement in his career is being named as the first Hawaiian- born positional player to be included in the All- Star team.
