Did You Know?

Did you know that in the history of the Cubs, only three times has there been a season in which a player hits at least 30 HR and yet walks no more than 30 times? Usually when a guy hits for power, he tends to draw walks as well due to the power threat. So who were the three?

1. Ernie Banks (1962) - 37 HR / 30 BB / .306 OBP
2. Ernie Banks (1968) - 32 HR / 27 BB / .287 OBP
3. Andre Dawson (1991) - 31 HR / 22 BB / .302 OBP

   They probably liked knocking in the big run… like Tyler Colvin.

   Sounds like a stat that Joe “I can’t stand the Cubs” Morgan would come up with.
