away from 1992-1999. From 1983-1991, he was dominant and well on his was to being a Hall of Famer, till he did too much coke, booze, beating on women, etc. Straw ended his 17 year career in 1999, and had, 1,401 hits, 335 HR's, 1,000 RBI's and .259 BA
He had 280 HR's his first 9 seasons from 1983-1991 and only 55 his last 8 seasons from 1992-1999. And had 832 RBI's his first 9 seasons and only 168 RBI's his last 8 seasons. He averaged 31 HR's his first 9 seasons and 92 RBI's. If he continued those averages until he retired, he would've wound up with 527 HR's and 1,564 RBI's. What a shame. Such a sweet swing he had.
