That depends on when you did it:
Campaneris hit 22 in 1970 ; 8 in 1972 ;
never more than 6 in his other 17 years.
22 was a jump of 275% over his next highest year of 8.
Boggs hit 24 in 1987 ; 11 in 1994 ;
never more than 8 in his other 16 years.
24 was a jump of 218% over his next highest of 11.
Gonzo's totals in Arizona were:
26,31,57,28,26,17,24, & 15
57 was a jump of 183% from his next highest of 31.
So, Gonzalez's 57, while certainly not in line with his normal yearly output, was proportionally closer to that than either of the others.
As to whether or not he juiced...I don't know...I'm just laying out the case for the possibility that there were statistical anomalies.
