5 Year Recalc:
I've kind of expected Yastrzemski to fail, but this year he reached 400 career home runs, and even added 15 more. It's officially the end for Yaz though as he called it quits following the season. I was expecting him to be the first failure of the real life 400 club, but he surprised me in the end. Of course with recalc we should see more successes than failures.
Tony Horton retired from baseball with 442 home runs. Horton hit 76 in real life.
Reggie Jackson passed 600 career home runs this season. Jackson now has more than his real life total of 563 homers.
Eddie Murray led the league this season with 46 home runs.
