Probably would have been had his career not been derailed by injury.

I think that 1990 was the year where he missed several games. I know that he had his bad injury in the 1990 football season, and I remember Ronald Reagan announcing the all star game in 1989 when he hit the lead off homerun.

Bo it is.

Popped 3 HRs in his last three at-bats on July 17th before getting injured.  In his first at-bat back on August 26th, he popped another

QUESTION #15

During the '90s, base-stealing in the American League was dominated by Ricky Henderson and Kenny Lofton.  However, they only led the league eight of the ten years from '90 to '99.  What one player led the other two seasons?

I think that a Tiger led it one year. I'm drawing a blank on his name.

You're onto it.  The same Tiger led two separate years between '90 and '99.

QUESTION #16

Only three players since 1963 have stolen more than one hundred bases in a single season.  Ricky Henderson did it three times ('80, '82, '83), and Vince Coleman did it three times ('85, '86, '87).  The third only did it once, but he led the NL in steals more times than anyone else after 1925.  Who was it?

Ron Leflore went for 97 in 1980, Omar Moreno approached 100. Eric Davis has he played a full season would’ve. Had 80 in like 127 games

I don’t think but put up huge numbers....or maybe he did touch 100 in his heyday where he had a couple monster years around 79-80
