Billy Butler, 32, a 10-year veteran playing in the big leagues, is currently causing havoc in the Idaho Falls Rec League.
Butler’s MLB career spans three clubs, the Kansas City Royals (2007-2014), Oakland Athletics (2015-16) and New York Yankees (2016). He amassed a career batting average of .290 with 1,479 hits, 147 homeruns and 728 RBI. The 2012 season was a career year for Butler, being named an All-Star, while also winning the Silver Slugger and Edgar Martinez Awards.
