How did you define “full-time”. Number of plate appearances? Qualified for batting title? Your table appears wrong in any case.

Steve thats just unnecessary.
Besides, McGwire explained that steroids dont really help you hit homeruns.

You’d think with the best group of OPS+ hitters in the history of the game, they might have scored more than 915 runs. Was Cano’s failure with runners in scoring position that dramatic to cause the team to lose ~50 runs?

I’d be shocked if Spencer wasn’t juicing

28th round pick
Spent 8 seasons in minors.

First at bat ends when Bernie Williams is caught stealing.
Gets sent down after playing one more game a week later.

Called up a month and a half later.
Plays half of one game.
Sent down for another month and a half.

Finally gets to play.

Struggles for a week.

Then does this over his last 54 PAs
.440 .481 1.140 1.621
With 10 homers.

Hits 2 homers in the Divisionals
Wins the World Series…

Then never had an ops+ over 100 again for the rest of his mediocre career.

What a ride!
I’d love to have a beer with Shane Spencer.

Let me guess, Shane Spencer had 73 plate appearances in 1998? 73 PAs is nothing.

Nice.
That list of teams with 5 is incomplete, though.
The 1927 and 1939 Yankees had 5.

Oh, and i checked for highest ops+ for anybody with at least 73 PA in one season. The leaders are:

1923 Babe Ruth – 239
1921 Babe Ruth – 239
1998 Shane Spencer – 236
1941 Ted Williams – 235
