Preston Wilson was never the biggest of guys, but he still generated an impressive amount of power at the plate. Wilson hit at least 23 home runs in each of his four full seasons as a member of the Florida Marlins and 189 for his big-league career. Only one of those was a walk-off, and it came on this day 20 years ago.
In the rubber game of a three-game series at Pro Player Stadium on Sept. 5, 2001 against the Chicago Cubs, Wilson played the role of hero. His three-run walk-off blast with two outs was the difference as the Marlins rallied for a 7-6 victory.
