5 Year Recalc:
Johnny Mize reached 400 home runs for his career, giving him his second entry into the final home run derby. Mize hit 359 homers in real life.
Jimmie Foxx retired with 663 career home runs. Foxx hit 534 in real life.
Joe DiMaggio finished the season with 301 career home runs at the age of 33. I'm really hoping that Joe D can pull it off.
