But he was able to use those strong legs to generate power in his bat, too. I am only 25 years old so it is awesome to learn from when I was not alive! Just pitiful he’s a silver slugger winner 1982-1986, 5 yrs straight, should be top ten yet he can’t get on as an honorable mention. It was the crowd, rising to their feet when the ball was hit deep.

Off Topic Trivia.

In 1982 and 1986, he and his fellow New York Mets won the World Series.Throughout baseball history, exceptional lead off men have always been a rarity. Scoring more than the other team is all that matters. That year, he posted an incredible league-leading slugging percentage of .664.For the decade, Brett was an All-Star nine out of ten years. I've added him to the article.Great hub.

Strawberry wasted his talent and still put up that stat line. Ask The Publisher.

I remember all the players on this page fondly. In 1985 and 1986, Henderson hit 24 and 28 home runs, respectively.Tony Gwynn was one of the greatest pure hitters to ever wear a baseball uniform.

However, Don Mattingly should also be on this list somewhere. Being on the field so much and traveling weathers and ages the players like no other professional sport. I remember seeing Shawn Abner play fairly regularly for the Angels in ’91 because of injuries to Junior Felix. Thanks again for sharing Jason, and have a great day!Thanks for reading and commenting, Wendell Patterson. The sweet-swinging lefty made good use of the short right field porch at Old Tiger Stadium.

Thanks for pointing out the omission, olderbutnotwiser.I take it you're an American League fan. I remember following the Molitor hitting streak - awesomeBoth Rickey Henderson and Dave Winfield developed some bad press while playing for the Yankees. People who usually don’t care go on about their day. But given another chance, you can bet they’d have gone with a young OF by the name of Trout instead. blast from the past.

I hope your nephews enjoy the article.Thanks, Paul Kuehn.

Not to say that baseball still doesn't remain exciting but players went from being regarded as superstars to super athletes (machine-like). Please correct or confirm thanks.You remember correctly. During the early 80s they batted 1-3 in Milwaukee's lineup. That year, he posted an eye-popping .551 slugging percentage.Lou Whitaker was a five-time All-Star during the 1980s.

Major League ballplayers play a 162-game schedule. Can you sign my ball? I try to remember that most stars who play for NY go through that. Note Cal Ripken at shortstop in the background. I saw Paul Molitor play in Tiger Stadium a few times. I am Xabial lol lol lol LOLZ!! He was a big run producer for the BoSox, knocking in over 100 from1983-1986. :)Thanks, Sunshine625!

He had very good power and hit .285 with 250 HE in the 80's. Woo Pig, baby.I don’t think people understand how impressive Ken Griffey Jr hitting 630 home runs is. He led the AL in on base percentage six times.The Hall of Famer wasn't a home run hitter, but in the eight years he played during the 80s, he hit an astonishing 314 doubles.
Those of us who lived to see the transition from the 80s to the 90s will know there was a difference. From '84 to '89 he averaged .327 wuth 27 homers 203 hits, and 114 RBI per season.

Well done!

And though he didn't usually have a batting average as high as Tram's, he was a patient hitter who made opposing pitchers pay if they made a mistake pitch.Tram, Whitaker, and the other 1984 Tigers won the World Series that year.Gibson is remembered fondly in Detroit, too. He wasn't particularly athletic-looking, but you know what they say, "Don't judge a book by its cover." In an era of rampant steroid use not once was Griffey never implicated or thought to have taken steroids. What else ya got Tons of Fun?Uhhhh Beavis this guy is acting like Rodger Clemens after Mike Piazza broke his bat on a pitch and the bat flew at himJust a hunch but from their usernames I believe it’s a lover’s quarrel.I don’t think it’s even close.

I like Billy Beane's (portrayed by Brad Pitt) comment in Moneyball, "How can you not be sentimental about baseball.' We lost 5-1 to the Twins that game but we didn’t care. He was good for a lot of extra-base hits (and some home runs) and was a threat to steal on opposing pitchers when he did hit a single. Previous Thread; … He also belted 24 home runs with 118 RBI. The Yankees then selected Belcher in the 1984 supplemental draft, but they lost him to the A’s in the compensation pool.

Please choose which areas of our service you consent to our doing so.Rickey Henderson takes off for second base as Eddie Murray covers first. He led the league in doubles in 1980 and 1982 and led the AL in triples in 1983 and 1988. This is much appreciated! He dominated the decade in the American League, seemingly a slap-hitting version of Ted Williams.

Comments are not for promoting your articles or other sites.It’s a disappointing list when you leave out the 2 time consecutive MVP Dale Murphy! Maybe I’m wrong but, that’s what I think I remember reading/hearing. Reply; Best team of the 80s. LOLThere’s an argument to be made that Gooden could have been every bit as good a pitcher as Griffey was an OF, but Griffey kept clean and Gooden didn’t. Gwynn was a five-tool player who took slap hitting to a whole new level.The left-handed hitting Gwynn won four batting titles in the 1980s (and four more in 90s) and the only year he hit under .300 was the year of his call-up (1982, when he hit .289).Tony Gwynn died on June 16, 2014, at age 54 after losing his battle with cancer.Don Mattingly didn't play his first full season until 1984, and he won the AL batting title that year.
