I loved that 91 Tigers team. They had a beer-league softball foursome of Cecil fielder, Mickey Tettleton, Rob Deer, and Pete Incaviglia. Plus the trio of Whitaker, Fryman, and Phillips contributed a combined 60 HRs.
Here are some of the team's ranks that season (in the A.L.): Hits -- Second to Last HRs -- First SOs -- Last Walks -- First AVG -- Last Runs -- Second They ran out a similar team for another three years, but none quite as stark as the '91 team. In 1994, Joey "the Vulture" Boever averaged less than an inning per game appearance yet compiled a 9-2 record, tied for 8th in the MLB for win total, 3rd among pitchers with 75 innings or more in Win Percentage. |

I was at a yard sale today where there were a number of Mark McGwire items for sale, including an unopened box of Safeway Cereal. I've never had any interest either way in his career, but McGwire had a rather interesting final season:
Games 97 At Bats 364 Runs 48 Hits 56 2B 4 3B 0 HR 29 RBI 64 W 56 K 118 BA .187 OBP .316 SLG .492 OPS .808 I know that some will look at these statistics as being tainted, but just over 55% of his hits went for extra bases with 51% being home runs. His body had given out, but what an exit. Phil aka Tere1071 Complete 1953 Bowman Color, 1971, 1972, 1974, and 1975 Topps Baseball sets under "revision" Near complete 1973 Topps Baseball set 647/660 1970 Topps Baseball partial set in need of many cards and "revisions" |

Jack Suwinski of the Pirates hit .202 in 106 games with 19 homers and 38 RBIs. He had 30 RBIs on the homers, which means he had about 100 games worth of plate appearances in which he drove in eight runs.
What was even worse was that he hit .112 on the road and drove in seven runs, five on homers. Or how about this...all of his RBIs off of LH pitchers came on five homers. He had 106 other PAs against LHP in which he went 7-for-93 with 11 walks and no RBIs
