Players that have had a 40 homer season by age 22. Mel Ott, Joe DiMaggio, Eddie Mathews (twice) Johnny Bench, Juan Gonzalez, Alex Rodriguez, Bryce Harper, Ronald Acuna Jr, Fernando Tatis Jr, Vlad Guerrero Jr.
That’s basically a HOF list for all the retired players.
Ah ok.Quote:

Oh god I hope so. Jimminez too. Wanna cash in those rookie cards!Quote:

It all goes both ways. Yankes wouldn't have built such a lead if the Jays didn't have their rough patches too.Quote:

It'll come down to whoever wins the series between us and the Yankees. Whoever wins that series probably will make the playoffs.
Springer heating up at the right time.
exactly, they have to earn it, and you know what thats exactly how it should be.Quote:

my first season as a fan was as an 10 year old and the Mets went 38-11 a .756 winning percentage to finish the final 6 weeks. I realize thats not typical but I dont think a .600 is too much to ask for over the stretch run. especially with the Orioles and Twins (a combined 119-193) .381 making up the crux of the schedule.
Crazy they are well over 600 in the final 4 weeks I think and still might not make it
Blue Jays up against the Yankees...series is basically a must win for y'all
We'll see, Boston having flashbacks of a complete meltdown just a few years ago.Quote:
