Since spurned for being part of the Steroid Era, I bring it up tonight only to remind everyone of the night-to-night excitement and intrigue that "Summer of '98" brought. Raleigh hit his 31st home run of the season today in Chicago - his third of the series. That would be the most by any player outside of the Steroid Era – and just the second non-Steroid Era player to surpass Roger Maris. But for me, and for an increasing number of Mariners fans, Raleigh’s at-bats have started to become must-see events. Frankly, it’s the first time I regret the Steroid Era ever happened.
