Ryne Sandberg hit 40 HR's in 1990. lol Hit 26 the following year. Why the spike? Why the hefty drop the next year?


George Brett hit 30 in 1985, and then 16 in 1986.

Jacoby Elllsbury hit 32 in 2011, has never hit more than 10 any other year in his career.

Roberto Clemente hit 23 in 1961, then hit 10 in 1962.

Johnny Bench hit 40 in 1972, then hit 25 in 1973.

And then you have Roger Maris, who hit 39 home runs in 1960, 61 home runs in 1961, and 33 home runs in 1962. Why the spike? Could it be he was just on in '61?

Baseball is a fluky sport. Just because there are major fluctuations here and there doesn't mean you are cheating.
