#2: Juan Silvestre - 1999
Silvestre was the starting left fielder for the Timber Rattlers on opening day in 1999. The following day, he hit his first home run of the season. That would be his only home run during April however, as his next bomb came on May 8th. When the home runs came, they often came in bunches, as Silvestre hit two homers in a game five times on his way to a team record 21 longballs. His 259 total bases are tied for the team record and his 107 RBI are also the most in Rattler history. His games played, at bats, doubles, hits, and slugging perectage totals all rank in the top ten in the record book. He was named to the Midwest League Post Season All Star Team.
