Spending 16 seasons in the MLB is no small feat, nor is being able to spend most of those 16 years with one team. In addition to spending 12 years with the New York Mets, the four-time All-Star played for the Toronto Blue Jays, Miami Marlins, and a brief stint with the Colorado Rockies.

José Reyes could be best described as an offensive weapon, being great at both getting on base and being a master of the art of the steal. With 517 bases stolen in his illustrious career, few were better than him at what is becoming a lost art.

The New York Mets slugger also accomplished an exceedingly rare feat of hitting for the cycle, when he had every type of hit possible against the Cincinnati Reds in 2006. Highlights from this game were posted by the MLB on YouTube.

José Reyes even sits atop some impressive lists in the record books, like this statistic posted by Anthony DiComo on Twitter.

After such a long and illustrious career, it comes as no surprise that the All-Star shortstop is still beloved by fans of the New York Mets and while he might not be taking the field anymore, fans still celebrate him as a star.
