that's because i don't start thinking about his career homeruns until he's near the next hundred mark. so i pay little attention until he's closer to 600. that said, time for the good ol'd sticky.RIP Dimebag, Mitch, John, & Grey Cat

oh yeah, this series against Baltimore is the first time three guys in the 500 home run club have played in the same game. Griffey (512), Palmeiro (559), and Sosa (582).
Junior is tied with Ernie Banks and Eddie Mathews for 16th all time. he needs 9 more to catch up to Willie McCovey and Ted Williams.Last edited by Ravenlord; 06-12-2005, 03:14 PM.RIP Dimebag, Mitch, John, & Grey Cat

Griffey hit a game-winning homer (#513) today and is now 16th all time by himself passing Ernie Banks and Eddie Mathews.Unlike most other team sports, in which teams usually have an equivalent number of players on the field at any given time, in baseball the hitting team is at a numerical disadvantage, with a maximum of 5 players and 2 base coaches on the field at any time, compared to the fielding team's 9 players. For this reason, leaving the dugout to join a fight is generally considered acceptable in that it results in numerical equivalence on the field, and a fairer fight.

#517 on the Fourth of July. Grif has homered on every Holiday he's played in the last 2 seasons.
#518 to tie it and eventually beat Arizona (July 8)RIP Dimebag, Mitch, John, & Grey Cat

I think it should be noted that his 1,500 RBI was on HR #518.Unlike most other team sports, in which teams usually have an equivalent number of players on the field at any given time, in baseball the hitting team is at a numerical disadvantage, with a maximum of 5 players and 2 base coaches on the field at any time, compared to the fielding team's 9 players.
