@1992Pirates Through his age 25 season, had slash of .275/.364/.410 (2691 PA) on way to being legend. In age 26 season to age 34, his slash was only .239./352/.351 (2140 PA). Could never figure out what happened.
@1992Pirates Also part of making life difficult for Cub skipper Lee Elia and leading to his legendary tirade. Part of it included Elia saying we’re mired in a bit of difficulty right now.
@1992Pirates My first real baseball glove back around the late 70s was a Lee Mazzilli rh with a "deep well" pocket. I was a lefty. 🙂
