Those teams had some very serious hitters on them. Well before my time, but wonder just how the down-ticket teams were put together as part of an expansion franchise. Not sure how the expansion draft worked.

I believe his numbers would have been even better had he not been bounced back and forth between Tampa and Durham.<br /><br />There was another guy from the late 90s by the name of Rich Butler who didn't make this list because his OPS wasn't as strong probably. But to me, I've never seen anyone in person that could hit as hard as he did. I once saw him hit a shot halfway up the Fox 50 Building on the fly.The Nickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14506118832511314848noreply@blogger.com
