We are told that in this contest we get bonus points for Burroughs homages.
But we are not told whether the references should be to Edgar Rice or William Burroughs. Either could fit the theme of this contest well.
Or maybe we are supposed to pay homage to Jeff Burroughs. Remember him? 1974 AL MVP?
But he had an even better year in 1977. 41 home runs. Never in his career other than that year did he hit more than 30.
You may also remember that on January 29, 1977, Fran Tarkenton hosted Saturday Night Live and pitched a new breakfast cereal, Sugar-Coated Anabolic Steroids.
