Epstein, slapped with what I am assuming was a time-appropriate nom-de-plume “Superjew”, batted .161 in his last taste of Major League action, with four homers among his 10 hits over 18 games.
He had a very nice year in 1969 when he slammed 30 homers for the Washington Senators, driving in 85 runs with a .278 batting average, even getting some MVP attention for his efforts.
The same would happen in 1972, now playing with the World Champ A’s, when he hit 26 homers with 70 RBIs along with a .270 batting average, easily his second best season in the Big Leagues.
