    "What the hell did you trade Jay Buhner for? He had 30 home runs and over 100 RBIs last year. He's got a rocket for an arm. You don't know what the hell you're doing!" -Frank Costanza, Seinfeld, "The Caddy"

    Buhner was under-appreciated because of the team he was on and the talent he was surrounded by. Had he gone to another team around this time he would have been their everyday cleanup hitter for years and probably would have gotten a lot more publicity and recognition than he did. Excellent player.

      He wasn’t under appreciated in the Pacific Northwest, he was a fan favorite. As kids we always wanted to sit in right field, 100 level, known as “the Boneyard”. We loved sitting close to Buhner, and that’s where Griffey hit a lot of his home runs too

    I was at a Columbus Clippers game in 1986 or 1987 and saw Buhner hit a home run to left-center that landed in Mount Calvary Cemetery, which sits immediately east of the old Cooper Stadium. I'm guessing the ball traveled close to 500 feet.
