And the answer to the trivia question who had the most base hits in the decade of the 90’s?

Amazing list of names. Phillies found a way to penetrate it up.

5 players went ahead of Bonds.

What's just as amazing is Randy Johnson didn't get picked until the second round.
(A lot of organizations thought he was too thin)

MONTREAL was the king of drafting weird lefties. I was in their system and got a chance to catch Cliff Lee in Jupiter FL. Look at how fukked up Cliff Lee's draft stuff was. 20th round lol. Guy was best pitcher in mlb for 5 years.

Johnson had zero pitching ability beyond straight heat. Wasnt till Montreal brought him to that sweep motion / slider/ curve to pitch he became effective. At one time the big unit was a straight over the top guy....go figure

I was an NCAA catcher to small to go any further.
Used to love to catch lefties, a good southpaw could put a hitter in a funk for a week.
