Fred McGriff had a long career in professional baseball, blasting Home Runs everywhere he went.  One of those stops was in San Diego, where he was traded from Toronto before the 1991 Season.

The slugger played for San Diego for two-and-a-half years, and he did what he did as a Blue Jay, in that he was an offensive juggernaut.  An All-Star in 1992, McGriff led the National League in Home Runs (35), had 104 RBIs, and had an OPS of .950, a then-record for the "Crime Dog."

McGriff was traded to the Atlanta Braves in July of 1993, and as a Padre, McGriff secured 84 Home Runs with a .519 Slugging Percentage.
