Only three 35+ dinger seasons with negative bWAR. Worst is Dave Kingman’s 1986

I know it’s definitionally partly a reflection of the league offensive environment, but 35 dingers with an 86 wRC+ is nuts
Not even the worst! One of the other two negative bWAR seasons was Tony Armas 1983. 84 wRC+
Also in 1982 Kingman *led the league in homers* and had a 97 wRC+
