I remember that hit. I think it was against the Brewers? Late season in 2005 when we were making our surge.
But for real, no first baseman ran the bases like Baggy. Craig may have been the hustle king to first but Bagwell was the master of the first to third advancement on a single. No wasted steps.
How the heck did he hit 3 hr that year? Considering where his shoulder was at by that point, it seems impossible that he could've generated that much power.
About damn time. He was a clear cut first ballot HOFer but the baseball writers embarrassingly didn't recognize it.
