...And by 1999 many players were using...
Players thought this stuff just the coolest thing ever. After all, they're all just young and stupid right? Anyway, it made them go from feeling like...
...especially in the dog days of August, to feeling like....
So a bunch of these guys, drunk with their new super powers took bat in hand and proceeded to point, laugh and mock Baseball in 1999. Forty-four players hit over 30 home runs. Thirteen players hit 40 plus home runs. Two players hit over 60 home runs. Whew...Hot diggity-Dog!! If we didn't know any better we'd say they swung a bat like.....
McGwire 65 Sosa 63 Griffey 48 Palmeiro 47 C.Jones 45
GREG friggin VAUGHN 45!!!
Delgado 44 Manny 44 Bagwell 42 S.Green? 42 V.Guerrero 42
A-Rod 42 Piazza 40
31 other players hit over 30 in the year 1999. The Artist Originally Known as Prince wrote that song just for them.
Fast-foward ten years. You are there, 2009. The season ends with no one hitting over 60 home runs or
50 home runs. Five players hit over 40.
Pujols 47 Fielder 46 Howard 45
M.Reynolds 44 & A.Gonzalez 40.
twenty-five more players hit over 30 home runs.
I gave you the numbers. You do the math.
