In the 1998 season Greg Vaughn started the year in a big slump. He came up in a situation where all he needed was a sac fly. He swung real easy and lifted a fly ball to the warning track to plate a critical run (it may have been a game winner. I can't remember). I really think that sac fly showed him that he didn't have to swing "for the fences" to hit home runs. He went on a tear and ended the year with 50 home runs.
Yesterday, Adrian only needed a sac fly to win the game. He did something he hadn't done in a real long time - hit an opposite field home run. His swing was a thing of beauty and not the over swing we have seen of late. I think, and hope, this will be the catalyst to the beginning of a hot streak. Of course, leaving Petco for a while will help a lot too.
