Baseball Trivia Time

Sorry about yesterday's trivia question for which there was no answer.

OK, so today:

During the 5 seasons from 1978 to 1982 who hit the most homers in MLB?

Willie Stargell

damn general you had the answer before he could even finish the damn question. you're good

Mr.Jones · May 20, 2004

General I don't think you are right. However I am not practicing proper journalistic ethics these days and am not cross checking my sources. However, I think I am right. I will never post again if I am guilty of such negligence two days in a row.

Let me say this. Last night at the watering hole it was determined by one of the mods that I resembled rather closely a particular mad left handed reliever from the 70's. See Fish thread.

However a few drinks earlier, I was said to resemble the guy who I think is the correct answer to this question.

So if I am right, that is a pretty good clue.

Brats and beer?

Mr.Jones · May 20, 2004

Checked it out General.

This old hero of mine had 88 more HR's than Willie Stargell in that period of time.

Stormin GORMON huh?

Mr.Jones · May 20, 2004

For sure. 175 HR's. Don't sound like much these days.

But back in those days being juiced had a quite different connotation which did not necessarily equate to more home runs. Unless of course the pitcher was even more juiced.
