    I think it was 10 years before the Flames won another series. That team was loaded. Joel Otto was a beast as well, they could play a heavy game as needed. Only other team to ever win the Cup on Forum ice. Glad the Habs snuck in one more and glad I dropped a $100 to go solo in standing room and witness it.

    I haven’t looked it up but when he was a Blue Jay I think he led the league with a similarly low number, like 36. Would have had to be ‘89 or ‘90 because he was gone by ‘91 and ‘88 was Canseco’s 40-40 year.

    He did. It was 89 with 36. The next year Fielder hit 51, which was kind of funny since they both had come through the Blue Jays system. Two monster power hitters at first base, but somehow they end up with John Olerud the starter by 1992. Of course, they won back-to-back World Series so it worked out.

    Unless I'm missing something in my research, McGriff is the only player in modern baseball history to lead the AL and NL in homers in a season.

    Since name changes are in the news, name the only one of the 16 MLB teams of the pre-1962 expansion era never to have changed its nickname or relocated.
