Mac's slugging becomes even less impressive when you break down the number. He was essentially a fly ball hitter. He was going to get a HR or nothing. He hit few doubles and I am sure that just about every triple was a fluke. I'm sure that like tim Wallach, Mac legged out a lot triples into doubles.

Mac is one of the single most unimpressive hitters I've ever seen play the game. Basically he is Kingman on steroids. HRs are boring and anticlimatic. To me, the most exciting hits in baseball are the triple and inside the park HR.
