Thirteen of the last 22 Most Valuable Player awards have gone to outfielders. Yet of the first 12 players to crack the 60-RBI mark this season, only four were outfielders—Gonzalez, Sosa, Griffey and Greg Vaughn—suggesting a shift in the balance of power. Gonzalez and Sosa played in the same outfield for four different minor league teams over their first three-plus pro seasons before the Rangers traded Sosa to the White Sox. Yet Gonzalez is more closely linked to Griffey (the two, along with Alex and Ivan Rodriguez, are our only All-Stars to have spent their careers with a single team). Born 36 days apart in 1969, constantly chasing home run and RBI titles together, Gonzalez and Griffey could be the Aaron and Mays of their generation.
