On opening day, the leadoff Roy Sievers hit a home run (I like to think of it as being on the first pitch) and then proceeded to hit two more in the same game. Quite a start to a season that saw the team lead in slugging and OPS and parlaying it into a first-place finish, besting Bob Elliott by two games. Fred McGriff and Vic Wertz finished 3 and 4 with Andruw Jones qualifying for the Third Round as well by virtue of his .500+ record. Lew Fonseca, Jose Altuve, and Orlando Cabrera will not advance to the next round.
