Vince Coleman is a former MLB athlete. He’s best known for his years with the St. Louis Cardinals. But, he played on quite a few other teams across the USA. His next appearance isn’t on the field, but on TV. He’ll be on the all-new episode of Celebrity Family Feud, teaming up with other baseball alumni. Get to know more about him below with these five facts.

5 Facts About Vince Coleman

1) Vince was with the St. Louis Cardinals from 1985-1990, the New York Mets from 1991-1993, Kansas City Royals from 1994-1995, and then the Seattle Mariners, Cincinnati Reds, and Detroit Tigers in 1995, 1996, and 1997 respectively. He retired in 1998.

2) He stole 110 bases during his rookie season. Later, he went on to steal over 100 more in each of the next two seasons. This makes him the only player in history to have 3 consecutive seasons of 100+ base steals. His total is over 700.

3) The Chicago White Sox hired him in 2015 as a base-running instructor. Even though Vince only stayed with them for a year, in 2017, the San Francisco Giants brought him on as a base-running and outfield coach.

4) Given his impressive records with the Cardinals, it’s no surprise he’s inducted into their Hall of Fame. Vince is also a 2x All Star, and won the National League Rookie of the Year award in 1985.

5) His wedding to Denise Coleman took place in Hawaii, and was attended by major athletic stars like Barry Bonds and Michael Jordan. According to the Society for American Baseball Research, he has two sons from a previous marriage – Vince Jr., and Lance. While it doesn’t appear that neither Vince or Denise have social media, you can see the couple in the middle (fifth and sixth from left) of the photo from Shawn Green’s IG:
