Fred McGriff led the AL in 1989, Jesse Barfield the majors in 1986. That'd be it.

McGriff was awesome, man. Joe Carter was awesome and Roberto Alomar was transcendent, but I definitely missed giving up McGriff and Fernandez. It was awesome when we got Tony back in 93 (and then again in 98).

Ryu, McGriff led the league in homers not just for us, but in the NL in 92 as well for the Padres. And in 89, he led the league in OPS too.

George Bell led the league in 1987 with 47 home runs.

McGwire's 49 that year will be erased from the record books because he was juicing harder than a Bulgarian weight lifter.
