His mid-career makeover into a good hitter, upon realizing that chicks don't care about his pinpoint control on the mound, is only further testament to his athleticism.

Now this story doesn't just stop with his career high OPS in the '98 season. After all, this commercial is about his pursuit of the long ball and not the pursuit of three doubles. But it is only fair to give him an entire offseason to work on his new approach at the plate.

And work he did. Maddux followed up his career best '98 season with another great season at the plate. In 1999 he finally brought that power he trained so hard for. His ISO skyrocketed up to .141(for context, Buster Posey's 2017 ISO was .142). And yes, he hit a homer, but not just one. Maddux hit 2 home runs in 1999, doubling his career total in just one season.

Obviously I had to track down those highlights.
