Baylor was the 1979 AL MVP. 139 RBIs for a guy who never got to 100 is quite a year. He also led the league in runs and games while hitting 36 homers. He added 22 of his 285 stolen bases too.
He had 52 steals in 1976. Since he was in the AL his entire carer I knew less about him. Being on the west coast for part of his career made his games against the White Sox a bit too late for me to follow.
He had a number of good years, but he only was named an all-star once. He did play more games at DH than at other positions in his career. Why did he only manage in the NL?
I think only five players have played more games as a DH than Baylor. Can you name them? Hint #1 - they all spent lots of time in the AL. Hint #2 - only one is older than Baylor. Hint #3 -
