Baseball DIY

During a very specific time in my childhood, call it 1989, the two coolest athletes in my world were Michael Jordan and Bo Jackson. Imagine my horror when, flipping through a Bill James book recently, the author described Bo Jackson as "not that great" of a baseball player. I looked up his stats recently; it turns out Bill was right. Put it this way: the three most statistically similar players to Bo are Pat Burrell, Nick Esasky, and Ron Kittle. I know it was cool that Bo played pro baseball and football, but it kind of goes back to my theory about switch-hitters: if you're obviously better on one side of the plate than the other, why not just hit from that side all of the time?

Trivia: Bo Jackson led the American League at least once in which of the following categories:
A) Doubles
B) Stolen bases
C) GIDP
D) Strikeouts

Highlight the line below for the answer.
D. He struck out 172 times in 1989, which also happens to be the year that he set a career mark for home runs in a season (32).
