Sixto Lezcano hit his 500th home run today, becoming the 12th player in the history of the league to hit 500 home runs in their career.

What happened to Cal Ripken? We've seen a lot of guys flop who are in the #400 club, but it's sad to see him struggle like this. He's seems to be stuck on seven home runs!

It looks like the steroid era is going to produce a few more success stories. It looks like Big Mac is destined for 500 at this rate.

It looks like the steroid era is going to produce a few more success stories. It looks like Big Mac is destined for 500 at this rate.

It really is sad to see Cal Ripken struggle so much. It's not just home runs, it's all around struggles for Cal. There is really no good reason for his struggles, except he imported as an 18 year old, but he quickly went from top prospect based on his potential to bust, since he never really developed.

He's only played in parts of four years and his line looks like .230/.293/.309 with the 7 home runs. He's been traded, released, signed, and released again. But I expect he's played his last game and was one of those prospects that never lived up to his potential in this world.

It does seem like we'll see some more successes in the steroid era. Things seem to have gotten a little more normal at least.

[NYY #23]

Darryl Strawberry reached 400 career home runs today. Unlike most of the players who reached 400 before him, I think he is one that had the talent to do so in real life. Strawberry hit 335 home runs in real life, and with his troubles it's not much of a stretch to imagine him having even more success in real life than he did.

[NYY #23]

Javy Lopez leads the league for the third straight year, hitting 62 home runs this season, becoming just the third player to hit more than 60 home runs in a season.

How old is McGwire now? It's very hard to keep track of everyone's ages here.

McGwire just turned 34 years old on October 1st, so he should have at least a few years left in him.

In real life Jay Payton's best season came in 2003 when he hit 28 home runs for the Colorado Rockies. This year Payton led the league when he hit 45 home runs.
