He hit 21 in the real life.
Ned Williamson hit 27 in real life and then hit 3 or 4 the next season.
I think it was the ballpark.
I believe the right field fence was less than 200 feet.
Three other players hit at least 20 homers on that chicago team.
So i guess it wasn't steroids but i think ootp duplicated it quite good.
