Article: Ben Oglivie Quietly Dominated The Game

Imagine having a line up like the 1982 team: 

Yount - 29/.331
Simmons - 23/.269
Cooper - 32/.313
Oglivie - 34/.244
Thomas - 39/.245
Molitor - 19/.302
Money - 16/.284
Gantner - 4/.295
Moore - 6/.254
Howell - 4/.260

Even our scrubs hit okay. Ned Yost, Mark Brouhard, Marshall Edwards, Ed Romero - the lowest BA was .247. 

It was fun to watch.

This got me thinking so I looked it up. The 82 Brewers had a 121 OPS+. That's ridiculous.

To compare to the modern day, the 2022 Yankees - the best in baseball - have a 117 OPS+ playing half their games in that shoebox of a stadium.
