Todd Walker is a little earlier but he holds the record for most post season homeruns in Red Sox history
quote:

The Red Sox made the playoffs and Walker stepped up his performance again; he hit .313 with three homers in the American League Division Series against the Oakland A's, and .370 with two more homers and hits in every game against the New York Yankees in the ALCS. The Red Sox were eliminated in 7 games. Walker's 5 postseason homers are still a Red Sox record.

I love to follow LSU baseball players in the pros

Todd Walker is the reason I am a huge Cubs fan. Always loved LSU baseball and then I slowly started watching MLB, Todd was the shite so I naturally watched him and the Cubs grew on me

last 20 years is Albert (Joey) Belle. Was an All Star for 93-97, won MLB MVP in 95, and was the 4th player to have 8 straight season with 30 HR and 100 RBI. Only has been done by Babe Ruth, Jimmie Foxx, Lou Gehrig, Albert Pujols, and A-Rod.

Probably should be in the hall of fame.

I believe Bell is the only player is baseball history to go 50/50 in the same season (HRs/Doubles)

Who retires after a 100 RBI season? Was there a reason he didn't play after the age of 33?

Albert Belle that is

Almost certain Albert belle had the most RBI of any hitter in the 90s. 95 in his third season then 9 consecutive of 100+.
