When the Chicago Cubs signed Moises Alou to a multi-year deal, they likely didn’t realize what a steal they were getting in him. Yes, most remember him for the “Bartman” play, but he was more than just a side note in bar trivia. In 2003, Alou hit 39 home runs while driving in 106 for the Cubs that year. He also was on fire during the Cubs 2003 playoff run, batting .500 in the NLDS against the Braves, while still hitting .310 against the Marlins. In 2004 the Cubs turned down a mutual option, and Alou went and found work in San Francisco.
