Worthy: A hat tip to Ichiro Suzuki for getting to the Hall of Fame one base at a time
Willie McGee won the National League MVP or the 1985 season, in which he hit just 10 home runs. McGee also batted .353. Vince Coleman scored 107 runs that season, and he had more than three times as many stolen bases (110) as he had extra-base hits (31). The leading home run hitter on the team, Jack Clark, hit just 22 homers.

In my business, that knee-jerk response comes in handy. Fending off blame is a survival skill.
