How about these numbers for Kemp:

• 3rd in NL in BA (.322)
• 2nd in NL in HR (35)
• 1st in NL in RBI (116)
• 1st in NL in R (106)
• 7th in NL in BB (74)
• 2nd in NL in SB (40)
• 2nd in NL in SLG (.569)
• 2nd in NL in OPS (.969)

!!! Wow. And hitting in Dodger Stadium half the time. Kemp, Kershaw, Gordon and even Loney at the end made this season a whole lot better than it otherwise might have been. Now if they could only get rid of that one nagging problem...

Had to take Kerry Waite out of the subject. I haven't seen him post in ages. If you are out there Kerry, I'll be glad to add you back in.
