Shannon Stewart

[Brock Beauchamp]

Shannon Harold Stewart was drafted by the Blue Jays in the 1992 MLB Draft and made his MLB debut in 1995. He played several seasons with the Blue Jays before being traded to the Twins for sabermetric darling Bobby Kielty on July 16, 2003. Stewart went on to be a critical part of the Twins' 2003 push to the postseason, posting an .854 OPS over 65 games with the Twins as they won their second consecutive American League Central championship. He was such a large impact on the Twins' second-half surge that he finished fourth in the American League MVP voting that season.

A free agent after the 2003 season, Stewart re-signed with the Twins on a three year, $18 million contract. He concluded his Twins career after the 2006 season having played three and a half seasons in Minnesota and accumulating 4.9 Baseball-Reference WAR.

Stewart retired following the 2008 season.
