John Olerud (17) | 255 | L | HR Log |
John Olerud was one that I watched, mostly with the Blue Jays but I think he did some time with the Mets.
I looked up John Mayberry earlier, he had a decent career. Big man, hung up the cleats in 1982. His best year for clouts was 1975 in Kansas City, with 34.
Adam LaRoche played for some of my favorite teams, the Washington Nationals and the Chicago White Sox. He called it a career when they would not let his 15 year-old son hang out more around the club house or the dug out. He hit a career best in 2012 before retirement in 2015 at age 35.
Kirk Gibson had a fine career, border line Hall of Famer. He had one of the biggest homers of all time in 1988, when hurt in the World Series. I guess those playoff stats do not count for the career, which they should, in my opinion. (I think that I only learned this a few short years ago from some the fathers of my baseball playing sons.)
Vada Pinson never had too many high homer years, just consistent. Done in 1975 at age 36.
Larry Parrish I remember when I was younger, his high career year was 1979 with the Montreal Expos, a couple years before they became my favorite team. He finished in 1988. With the Bo Sox after many years with the Texas Rangers.
Bob Allison had some power years with the Washington Senators and Minnesota Twins before hanging it up in 1970, the year of my birth,
