Shawn David Green (born November 10, 1972) is a former Major League Baseball right-fielder. Green was a 1st round draft pick and a two-time major league All-Star. He drove in 100 runs four times and scored 100 runs four times, hit 40 or more home runs three times, led the league in doubles, extra base hits, and total bases, won both a Gold Glove Award and a Silver Slugger Award, and set the Dodgers single-season record in home runs. Green was also in the top five in the league in home runs, RBIs, intentional walks, and MVP voting. Green holds or is tied for the following major league records: most home runs in a game (4), most extra base hits in a game (5), most total bases in a game (19), most runs scored in a game (6), most home runs in two consecutive games (5), most home runs in three consecutive games (7), and most consecutive home runs (4). He hit his 4 home runs, 5 extra base hits, and 19 total bases against the Milwaukee Brewers in . Green broke the record of 18 total bases (4 home runs and double) set by Joe Adcock of the Milwaukee Braves (vs. Brooklyn Dodgers) in . At the time of his retirement, he was one of only four active players with at least 300 home runs, 1,000 runs and RBIs, 400 doubles, a .280 batting average, and 150 stolen bases. The others were Barry Bonds, Ken Griffey, Jr., and Gary Sheffield, each of whom was at least two years older than Green, with at least 1,400 more at bats (though in each case, the other three had considerably more home runs and, in the case of Bonds, far more doubles and runs scored too). Green was noted for his smooth swing. He was also known for the strength and accuracy of his arm; he had 14 assists from the outfield, for example, in . Green was one of the best-known Jewish major league ballplayers,〔("Ian Kinsler helping Jewish fans conquer Shawn Green withdrawal", ''Sports Illustrated'', June 12, 2009, June 12, 2009 )〕 and the most prominent one with the New York Mets since Art Shamsky played right field for the World Champion Mets.〔("Mets Bolster Outfield With a Trade for Green," ''The New York Times'', 2006-08-23, accessed 2007-11-04 )〕 Of Jewish major leaguers, only Hank Greenberg, with 331 home runs and 1,276 RBIs, has more major league home runs and RBIs than Green.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Jewish Major League Career Leaders )〕〔("With the glove and the bat, Jews sparkled on the diamond," ''New Jersey Jewish Standard'', 2007-11-16, accessed 2007-11-17 )〕 Green opted to miss games on Yom Kippur, even when his team was in the middle of a playoff race. Green was arguably the best Jewish baseball player since Sandy Koufax, although his stats (especially his home runs) declined in his last years.〔("A Power Hitter. And a Source of Jewish Pride," ''The New York Times'', 2006-08-26, accessed 2007-11-04 )〕 Shawn Green retired on February 28, 2008. ==High school== Green was born in Des Plaines, Illinois. He attended Tustin High School in Tustin, California, where he tied the California Interscholastic Federation record with 147 hits during his high school career. He was a 1st team selection to the 1991 USA Today All-USA high school team,〔("Player File," Mets website, accessed 2007-11-04 )〕 while ranking 3rd in his class academically.〔(Levin, Jason, "Shawn Green—Following in Koufax's Footsteps—As the Dodgers' new player settles in, the Los Angeles Jewish community takes note," 12/30/99, accessed 7/21/09 )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Shawn Green」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
