Boy, the "PED era" had its share of statistical blips.   Not that we don't have PEDs around now but the gross abuses of this period in time were bizonkers and made games into basketball where you prayed you could somehow get that juiced up monster to pop up instead of hitting a walk off.

Trading away Frank Catalonotto was far more upsetting to me.

I still maintain that the rapid expansion, which diluted pitching staffs, and the introduction of juiced balls to recover from the strike were just as responsible for the offensive anomalies of that period as PEDs.

It was OK though.  They got Greg Jeffreys (deliberately misspelled) to replace him.

Be careful—some people around here get irrationally angry if you misspell a player’s name.

Good warning. I'll just call the rookie ..Kevin. or "The Kid." But not KMac....some people don't like that, either and can't hide their outrage...😅😅
