Timothy Raines (born September 16 1959 in Sanford, Florida), nicknamed "Rock", is a former left fielder in Major League Baseball known for his speed and ability to get on base. The Montreal Expos selected him in the 5th round of the 1977 amateur draft. He played briefly as a second baseman for the Expos in 1980, but soon switched to playing the outfield, and rapidly became a fan favorite due to his aggressiveness on the basepaths. Wikipedia
