Well done Chop!
I was trying to be extra careful...what gave it away?
started and ended on west coast and one dimensional player.
He was the most one dimensional player in the history of baseball.
How times have changed here we have Kingman hitting 35 homers the yr he retires...just can't imagine a guy hitting that many homers not getting a deal in this day and age, and back then 35 was like 40+ today
What a bizarre career Kingman had.
Another odd occurence for Kingman, the 77 season, he ended up in NY in MID Sept! I believe this caused the Sept 1 rule to be changed! NY paid cash for him, and he did very well in NY down the stetch , the Yankees held off Balto and Bos by 2 games, Kingman played a big part in that.
It was a shady deal, the Angels actually claimed him off the waiver wire because they were in a lessor position in the standings then sold him to NY!
Like I said, that caused a rule change....he may have gotten a small percentage of that WS share....he had 4 homers in 8 games for NY.

What a bizarre career Kingman had.
He was the only player to HR for teams in all four divisions in the same year.
Does that look like a major league batter's follow thru? If you didn't know it, you may assume his hands are switched. How does one end up in that position after missing the ball?
