[quote:1a5996a79b="rmilter"]That is what I love about pre-steroid baseball; a guy can hit 32 homers with 99 RBI and win MVP. I remember when Jim Rice would hit 35 to 40 homers every year and be among the leaders, if not the HR champ. Baseball was more pure. Speed and fielding mattered more. Thankfully we are getting back to that. No more juiced players,balls, or bats![/quote:1a5996a79b]
My favorite guy on that team was Jay Howell. He was on my team the whole year, yet managed only 3.1 innings pitched!!! They were three plus memorable innings since he somehow managed to save 4 games and lose one in his limited playing time.
20 dingers out of Tim Laudner in 260 ABs in Olympic was pretty sweet too. :)
