The story of Andre Dawson has long been told when it comes in relation to the Chicago Cubs. It was the year of "Collusion," and Dawson and his agent agreed to a blank amount in front of the Cubs management. The Cubs would sign him for a half a million dollars, a bargain in every stretch of the word. "The Hawk" would then proceed to have the best season of his career where he blasted a league-leading 49 Home Runs, and 137 Runs Batted In and would win the National League MVP Award. Dawson never had a year like that again, but he was still a good power hitter who would have 20 or more taters in the next five seasons.
While we stated that Anthony Rizzo was the heart of the Cubs' 2016 World Series Championship, Kris Bryant was the star.
