The front: Some more spring training shots. Reggie looking
cool in shades, while Oglivie and Schmidt both look like their photos were
taken at the end of a long, hard day.
The back: Schmidt’s MVP season was overshadowed by George
Brett’s monster year, but Schmidt’s Phillies knocked off Brett’s Royals in the
World Series. The Panamanian Oglivie was the first foreign-born home run
leader. The four AL players tied for ninth were George Brett, Lance Parrish,
Jim Rice and Ken Singleton.
The Brewers from this time were very exciting. It was cool to see a relative no-name, like Ben Oglivie, win the HR title.
ReplyDeleteDamn. The Brewers and the Dodgers were loaded with home run hitters in 1980.
