Answer: Robert Fick

Robert Fick began his MLB career in 1998 with the Detroit Tigers. He remained in the league through the 2007 season. Over this stretch, he posted a .258 batting average with 69 home runs and 328 runs batted in.

Fick had a very short stint with the Atlanta Braves (one season) so he is often times forgotten by Braves fans.
