Holt, who is still only 34, last played for the Texas Rangers in 2021. He is best remembered for his time in Boston, where he played from 2013 to 2019. Holt was an All-Star in 2015 and won the World Series with the Red Sox in 2018. He also hit for the cycle twice during his career (including the only postseason cycle in MLB history).

In addition to Texas and Boston, Holt made stops in Pittsburgh, Milwaukee, and Washington as well. He will go down as a big-time fan favorite for more reasons than one.
