1990 year of the no-hitter
I wouldn't call 2010 the year of the pitcher, although everything is relative in life I suppose.
In 1990 Cecil Fielder led MLB with 51 homers and an all-time modern record 9 no-hitters were thrown that year. Clearly the modern day "year of the pitcher" is 1968 though. Back to 1930, most of baseball hit near .300, but not everyone hit 50 HR's. Individually, Hack Wilson set NL records for HR and RBI. Of all the established greats playing at that time, I'm guessing that few would have picked Wilson to be the league leader and record setter. I think that parallels with Bautista's season, a surprise HR leader, breaking out at age 30. Besides...I don't have scans of Brady Anderson or Greg Vaughn cards to post
