Harper's greatness for the 1970 Brewers team really was remarkable.

 

His 7.4 bWAR season ranks 4th all time in franchise history. He finished 2nd in the AL in offensive WAR (Yastrzemski) that year. He had a 31/38 season and it would be the only 30/30 season by a Brewer until 2011, 41 years later.

 

He brought a lot of excitement to the Brewers when they didn't have much else.

 

Happy Birthday, Tommy!

I don’t have anything particular to add here but thanks for posting! I am not old enough to have seen Harper play but have read a bit about him and appreciate the post. Seems like he would have been an incredibly fun player to watch in 1970.
