Want an illustration of how different baseball is from the 1980s? Alfredo Griffin (he of a career .285 on-base percentage!) batted leadoff in 592 games. That’s about four full seasons of a low-average, barely-ever-walks guy at the top of the order. One of the manager’s who did it was Tommy Lasorda.
