Quotable!
"Pain is nature's way of telling you the arm doesn't want to throw anymore."
--Pat Dobson, Cleveland Indians pitcher

 
Silver Sluggers by Year

1996 Silver Sluggers

Below are the winners of the 1996 Silver Slugger awards. The award is given annually by Hillerich & Bradsby, the maker of the Louisville Slugger, to the best offensive player at each position. It is often thought of as the offensive counterpart to the Gold Gloves award.

Read more about the award, including a complete list of winners, here.

Notes: Three outfielders were chosen regardless of position (LF, CF, RF). Such players are therefore shown above in random outfield positions and not necessarily where they played. An American League DH was chosen in lieu of a pitcher. National League players are in yellow while American Leaguers are in white.


Share Your Memories!

Our sites have always been by you and about you. If you check our TV Forums or our Technology & Science forums, you'll find literally thousands of messages from fans of 1970s TV shows, survivors of hurricanes or aircraft accidents, etc. from all over the world sharing their memories, asking questions, making comments. Our baseball section is new, but don't let that stop you from sharing your memories of the first game you went to, your favorite player, a now-forgotten stadium, etc. Of course you can also ask questions, post trivia, tell the world what you think of Barry Bonds, or just read what others are saying.

--Patrick Mondout
