• Jeff's batting average fell of badly in 1975 and he also led the AL with 155 strikeouts
• Burroughs had a similar year in 1976, but he hit only 18 home runs
• Jeff was traded  to the Atlanta Braves after the 1976 season. At first he didn't want to go (Burroughs contended that he had a no-trade clause), but he finally relented.
• Burroughs had a couple of good years with the Braves but then he struggled through the 1979 and 1980 seasons.
