Whether it be Charlie Hough, Tim Raines or Ichiro Suzuki, the Florida/Miami Marlins have had a number of former All-Stars spend parts of their 40s playing in their organization. One of the most notable is now Hall of Fame outfielder Andre Dawson.
A shell of his former self, Dawson spent his final two seasons with the Marlins. On this day 25 years ago, “The Hawk” did something only 10 players before him had: hit his 400th National League home run.
The Florida Marlins were just 14-31 as they arrived at Veterans Stadium on June 16, 1995 to take on the Philadelphia Phillies in the opener of a three-game set.
