Message: [QUOTE="jncuse, post: 4300166, member: 1969"] He had a great 1987 (6th in MVP voting), but overall his play from 1988-1994 was merely above average but generally not great - he had one year in that 7 year period where he was top 10 in MVP, but also had some average or injury plagued seasons. His career really took off again in 1995 for the next 5 years which were very, very good - at that point he was well on the juice (which meshd well with the juiced ball that started around 1995 as well) 1987 was also perhaps the greatest single season anomaly for HR's in a long time (juiced ball), so also need to consider that went giving him credit for those 49 HR's. That being said he did lead the majors in HR with Andre Dawson in 1987 - and you can't really diminish leading the league in HR's. ). [/QUOTE]
