Thinking about that decade in baseball history, you probably immediately think of the long ball heroes who were swatting dingers to the moon. Players like Ken Griffey Jr., Barry Bonds, Mark McGwire, and former Chicago Cubs slugger Sammy Sosa. It was the era of the home run that is referred to as, what we notoriously dubbed, “The Steroid Era.”
In the midst of this scandalous era, one beloved player opted for dugout cigarettes over performance-enhancing drugs and doubles over home runs.
Out of all the most popular, muscle-riddled superstars, none of them are known for having the most hits or doubles out of any player through the decade of the 1990s.
