Cristos Revilla was born to be a ballplayer.
“Pops always said I learned to swing a bat before I learned to walk.”
Revilla, the 25-year-old Philadelphia second baseman, really displayed his hitting ability this past season.
His .343 batting average led all American League hitters. He collected 210 hits, socked 7 home runs, scored 79 runs and drove in 74 runs. The AL’s top batter also played in 149 games, had 44 doubles, 3 triples and walked 20 times.
