Timeline

1957

Brett Morgan Butler (born June 15, 1957) is an American former center fielder in Major League Baseball and coach.

1977

The outfielder led the Savages to championships during all three years at Southeastern including an NAIA national runner-up finish in 1977.

He was twice named to the NAIA All-America Baseball Team.

Butler was the Savages' first .400 hitter with a .439 average in 1977.

He set career records in home runs (31), runs (209), triples (15), hits (220), walks (162), and career batting average (.394).

1979

After attending Southeastern Oklahoma, Butler was drafted in the 23rd round of the 1979 amateur draft by the Atlanta Braves.

The Braves were building a contending team with players like Dale Murphy, Bob Horner, and Glenn Hubbard after years of losing, but they lacked a leadoff hitter with speed.

1980

Many consider him to be one of the best leadoff hitters of the 1980s and early 1990s, due to his high on-base percentage, speed and dynamic bunting.

1981

He played for five different teams from 1981 through 1997.

After playing in the minor leagues, he made his major league debut with the Braves on August 20, 1981.

1982

Butler helped lead the Braves to a 13–0 start and the National League West Division title in 1982, their first division title since 1969.

1983

He had another fine year with the Braves in 1983, but they finished second in the West to the Los Angeles Dodgers.

In October 1983, Butler was sent to the Cleveland Indians (along with Brook Jacoby and Rick Behenna) to complete a deal in which the Braves had acquired Len Barker for cash, toward the end of the 1983 season.

1984

In 1984, he became the first batter Roger Clemens would face in the big leagues.

1985

He played with the Indians for four seasons, batting a career-high .311 in 1985.

1987

Butler signed with the San Francisco Giants as a free agent after the 1987 season and established himself as one of the premier leadoff hitters in the National League.

1988

Butler finished in the top 25 voting for National League Most Valuable Player five times in his career (1988-1992 and 1994); in 1991, he finished seventh in NL MVP voting and was named an all-star.

Butler recorded a .993 fielding percentage at center field in his major league career.

1989

He helped the Giants to the NL pennant in 1989, as the leadoff hitter in a lineup that included Will Clark, Kevin Mitchell, and Matt Williams.

1990

Following the 1990 season, Butler signed a contract with the Los Angeles Dodgers.

1991

A leadoff hitter for the majority of his career, Butler led the league in triples and runs scored twice each and was named a National League All-Star in 1991.

As a member of the Dodgers from 1991 to 1995, Butler reached the prime of his career.

In 1991, Butler led the National League in runs scored and walks, earned a roster spot on the National League All-Star team, and finished seventh in MVP voting.

1995

During the 1995 season, Butler was signed as a free agent by the New York Mets.

In August 1995, Butler rejoined the Dodgers in a trade for Dwight Manees and Scott Hunter.

After finishing the season with the Dodgers, he again became a free agent and returned to the Dodgers.

1996

He was diagnosed with cancer in May 1996, received treatment and returned to the playing field four months later.

In May 1996, Butler learned that he was suffering from squamous cell carcinoma of the tonsils, a type of cancer which only rarely involves the tonsils.

Butler was not a smoker himself, but had grown up in a home where both parents smoked heavily, and thus had significant exposure to second-hand smoke for years, which his doctors speculated was the likely cause of his cancer.

Following an operation to remove the tumor, and intensive treatment to combat the disease, he returned to the Dodgers' lineup in September of the same year—defying the predictions of those who had speculated he would never be able to play again.

In 1996, he was awarded the Branch Rickey Award, which honored his outstanding community service.

Over his career, Butler produced a .290 batting average, 2,375 hits, and 558 stolen bases.

1997

He retired in 1997 and began a baseball coaching career.

He has coached or managed numerous professional teams.

Butler finished the 1996 season with the Dodgers and played with them for one more year, participating in his final game on September 28, 1997.

2008

He was the manager of the Reno Aces minor league team from late 2008 through 2013.

Butler spent his teenaged years in Libertyville, Illinois, where he was a starting outfielder on the Libertyville High School baseball team that finished in the top 16 teams in the state his senior year.

Upon graduating, he announced plans to play baseball in college, and his high school coach, Ernie Ritta, scoffed.

Butler, who had explored walking on at baseball powerhouse Arizona State, made the team at Southeastern Oklahoma State University.

2013

Butler currently ranks 130th on the list of career hits.
