Claim: In 1983, LaMarr Hoyt of the Chicago White Sox (an American professional baseball team based in Chicago, Illinois) missed the American League home run title by 3 home runs and would rank in sixth place in the American League for runs batted in, in addition to having lead the league in strikeouts with 150.
Evidence: Hoyt was even better in 1983, winning the American League Cy Young Award. His 24-10 won-lost record, 3.66 earned run average and even better control than the previous season, (walking 31 batters in 260.2 innings, and leading the league in fewest walks per nine innings for the first of three straight seasons), helped the White Sox capture the American League West title.
