James Michael Eisenreich (/ˈaɪzᵻnraɪk/; born April 18, 1959) is an American former Major League Baseball player with a 15-year career from 1982–1984 and 1987–1998. He played for the Minnesota Twins and Kansas City Royals of the American League, and the Philadelphia Phillies, Florida Marlins and Los Angeles Dodgers of the National League. He played first base, outfield and designated hitter.
In 1993, his first year with the Phillies, Eisenreich put together one of his best years, batting .318 and helping the Phillies to win the National League pennant. As the Phillies began their slide the next season, Eisenreich was one of the team's few bright spots, batting .361 for the last place Phillies in 1996.
After signing with the Florida Marlins prior to the 1997 season, Eisenreich played a pivotal role in the 1997 World Series helping the Marlins reach a championship in their 5th year. Eisenreich was the runner on 2nd base when Edgar Renteria hit his walkoff single in the bottom of the 11th inning of Game 7.
Eisenreich was part of a "blockbuster" baseball trade on May 14, 1998. He was traded from the Florida Marlins, with Bobby Bonilla, Gary Sheffield, Charles Johnson, and Manuel Barrios, to the Los Angeles Dodgers for Todd Zeile and Mike Piazza.
