That doesn't sound right.

And it isn't.

OK.....had my facts wrong. It's all good. First in a VERY long time. My point was that it was an underachieving team. Albert Belle had his 50/50 year during that run (first 50 home runs and 50 doubles) and Ramirez had 165 RBIs.

Yeah, it's not working out this year, but I think they'll take a step back this year and three steps forward next year. They are much to young for people to give up on them.

Jim, this is a great point. I think that 1995 Cleveland team was the best hitting team I've seen, and I started watching in 1965.Jim Thome and Manny Ramirez hitting 6th and 7th in the lineup?
Bad luck for them, they ran into that great Atlanta pitching staff, and for once the Braves made all the big plays.
