I still disagree, Armstrong was touted as a future multiple Tour winner before the cancer. And back in those days (1994-1996) when people said that, the competition for such statements was really slim.
I'm really not deep enough into baseball to make a good example through that sport, but if you want to stick with the 100 HR example, I guess that he was a guy who hit 40+ HR in his rookie season and had several multiple HR games in the following seasons.
