Fred McGriff turns 59 today. McGriff was born in Tampa, Florida. The Yankees drafted him in the 9th round of the 1981 amateur draft. Don Mattingly blocked his way to the majors for the Yankees. The...
In 1986 Fred was up for three games in May. In 1987 he started the season with the team and slowly took over the DH role from. He hit .247/.376/.505 with 20 homers and 60 walks in just 295 at-bats, a pretty good rookie season. After the season,McGriff’s first entire season as a first baseman was great. He hit .282/.376/.552 with 34 home runs and 79 walks, 100 runs, and 82 RBI. He receivedFred had an equally outstanding season in 1989, going .269/.399/.
In 1990 Fred had his third consecutive terrific season hitting .300/.400/.530 with 35 homers. Three seasons with 34, 36, and 35 home runs can’t ask for anything more consistent than that. He came in 10th in MVP voting. He finished 2nd in the league in on-base and 4th in slugging average and homers. McGriff was a terrific first baseman for us, but the one little knock folks had on him was that he never drove in 100 runs for us despite hitting 35 home runs a year, three years straight. People say one of those stupid things when they want to complain about someone but can’t find a reason.
