1992. What is significant about that year?

Let's see....

We know that was the last year the Pirates had a winning season. And we know that George H.B. Bush was running against Bill Clinton. But what infamous player contributed to Pittsburgh's unlikely 96 win season?

I ran a mile in 5:57 in April that year. I'm positive I've never run a mile that fast again. It's possible I haven't run a full mile for any reason since then.
