Norm Cash in 1961. Definitely sold his soul (for cork) that year.
Rico Petrocelli, when he hit 40 homers (1969).
Larry Sheets, OF, 1987 Orioles. Hit 31 of his 94 career HR that year.
Jeff Ballard, LHP, 1988 Orioles. 18-8 that year, 23-45 the rest of his career.
The O's seemed to have a lot of one-year wonders around that time, which explains a lot about their records back then, too, I guess.
