MODERN ERA UPDATE

DANCER JUST GETS BETTER WITH TIME
San Francisco - Giants pitcher Matthew Dancer made six All-Star games before this season. In his seventh All-Star season he earned his 200th win and managed to move himself to the upper echelon of award winning pitchers with his first Cy Young Award in 2020. Dancer, 38, shows no signs of stopping and with 218 career wins, Dancer might be prancing on a one-way ticket to Cooperstown if he keeps up his performance. "We're not going to think about that right now," said Dancer, when asked about his aspirations for Cooperstown. "When the time comes, I'll worry about all that." he said.


A-ROD'S RECORD IN JEOPARDY
With Wyoming's Darren Panglaet just three homers behind Alex Rodriguez's 759 homers for first on the Modern Era All-Time home run leaderboard, the 34-year old left fielder is preparing to go down in the history books. Fast on his heels is 27-year-old Minneapolis third baseman Lars Heinreich who slammed his 700th homer at the end of the 2020 season and is on pace to shatter the all-time homer record after hitting 700 homers in just ten major league seasons.

NIKOLANDIS WIN SIXTH STRAIGHT CY YOUNG
Move over Clemens, take a back seat Maddux and Steve Carlton, you're in over your head. The Greek God, Zeus himself has arrived in the majors. Yankees pitcher Kosta Nikolandis was named the Cy Young award winner for the sixth straight year. Nikolandis has established himself as the gold standard in the realm of Major League pitchers. In six and a half major league seasons, he has won 157 games and at age 31, shows no signs of stopping. He has won three World Series rings, two with Los Angeles in 2017 and 2018 and with Detroit in 2019.
