Lets not forget how all this came about. His daddy was his manager. After a while that stupid meaningless streak took over the whole team. Not sure how much that helped the team when he was batting 220 for the year. Not sure how much that helped the team to not get a day of rest throughout the season. Just makes no sense to me at all.
Right Side - these are the stats when his dad was the 3rd base coach, except 87-88 when Sr was the manager -
