Tracy Jones had a nice season in 1987 as well. Always wondered why he didn't have a better career.
By the way, Adam, I was at the Mariners-Angels game on September 14,1990 when the Griffeys went back to back to the opposite field off Kirk McCaskill. One of my top live memories!
I was pretty excited by Jones, too. Looking back, I can appreciate that it took him a while to get to the majors -- he was 26 during that rookie season of 1987. He wasn't great in the field and then bounced around quite a bit after the Reds traded him to Montreal. Just never really got his feet under him with another team.
Great piece, enjoyed this one a lot!
Thanks!

I can see why! That must have been thrilling!
