I remember going to a Braves game in 1983 in which Kuiper was robbed of a homerun by the Braves leftfielder who caught the ball over the fence. The announcers said it would have been only his second CAREER HR.

I remember reading about a player who quite a few years ago did everything well except hit home runs; he had a respectable MLB career, but never hit a homer. His reaction to the constant question? "If I hit one, they'll just want me to hit another."

Back in the early '80s a group of us would get together every so often at the local diamond and play Home Run Derby. I hit maybe 5 total at most but our friend Steve never hit one out...appropriately, we nicknamed him "Kuiper". Brad
