14000 days ago (April 29, 1987), newly-signed free agent OF Andre Dawson goes 5-for-5 for the Cubs, hits for the cycle, and leads the team to an 8-4 home win over San Francisco. As it turns out, signing Dawson was a terrific idea.

It appears that whatever it was that made 1987 a hitter’s year, had great effect on Dawson. From 1985 to 1988, he hit 23, 20, 49, and 24 homers. In 1987, he hit 27 home runs at home.
