How was his strike shortened 1994? 8 HR and 67 RBI with a .273 average. This is back-to-back players with 8 HRs during the lost season.

Birthday boy: September 3, 1967. NBA journeyman Chris Gatling was born that date as well. If Luis and Chris' parents were on the way to the hospital in Sweden, they might have arrived by driving on the left side of the road, but returned on the right, as they switched over on 9/3/67.
