Ah, the magical 1993. Well, it was magical right up to Joe Carter’s home run, but it was an awesome season nonetheless. The Phillies’ out-of-the-blue, probably (allegedly) steroid-fueled run all the way to the World Series had John Kruk right in the middle of it (the run, not necessarily the steroids). He hit .316/.430/.475 in 535 at-bats, with 100 runs, 85 RBIs, 33 doubles, 5 triples, 14 home runs, and an amazing 111/87 BB/K ratio. He had a 145 OPS+ and 4.7 WAR. He was also an All-Star and finished 16th in MVP voting. (Barry Bonds won it.)
