As we enter the final month of the season Mark McGwire is now sitting at 598 home runs. He has 40 home runs so far in 1986 and is leading the home run race.
Jordan Zimmermann enters September with 20 wins.
Harold Baines is steadily working his way toward becoming a member of the
3000 hit club. He should achieve the feat sometime during the first half of 1987. He's been a study in consistency his entire OOTP career. Glad he's going to reach the 3000 mark.
Kind of perplexed by this seasons Lou Brock. Brock has rode the pine a lot this season and when he has played he hasn't exactly shined. He's around 34 years old, so I'm hoping he still has some great seasons coming, but I'm really worried in regards to his decline.
Last years champs the Toledo Mud Hens have really fallen off the table this season. Been under .500 almost from the get go. The final month will probably be a tough one for the Mud Hens, as Barry Bonds will miss the vast majority of the month if not all of it. Bonds was in the contention to win his second home run title in a row, but will have to regroup and come out strong in 1987. Rumor has it the ball might be juiced in 87, but who knows?
