Mo Vaughn new home run king

This completely shocked me! I started in 1995 playing as Seattle.

Juan Gonzales and Ken Griffey been chasing Aaron..I would check up on them at times. Juan was playing in Boston and Ken in LA.

Ken Griffey started 2008 at 708 homers. Starting to show his age. He was able to hit only 16 that year for a 724 total. The following year Ken was only able to hit 9. Deciding to retire that year leaving him with a grand total of 733.

Juan began 2008 with 717. In 2008 he was only able to hit 29 into the seats leaving him only 10 short of the record at 746. The 2009 season started slowly for Juan. He was able to hit only 4 in the first month of play. This was when I just decided to check on Mo Vaughn Juan's teamate in Boston. Mo had just hit 11 homers in April. 728 was his career total! Unfortuanatly for Juan age caught up with him. Able to hit only 3 more the next month he was demoted to AA ball. Juan would end up retiring at the end of the year. His grand total 753.

This was where Mo took off. At the age of 41 he blasted past Aarons record by slamming 50! He ended the season at 767.

I had not even paid any attention to him..I figured he would be old. He did not even retire yet. He is going to play the 2010 campaighn at 42! I wish there was way to export players career stats. Here his best years

1995, Mo Vaughn (Boston), 50 Homeruns, 143 RBI, .304 AVG
2000, Mo Vaughn (Boston), 52 Homeruns, 126 RBI, .294 AVG
2003, Mo Vaughn (Boston), 51 Homeruns, 128 RBI, .302 AVG
2007, Mo Vaughn (Boston), 53 Homeruns, 135 RBI, .314 AVG
2008, Mo Vaughn (Boston), 50 Homeruns, 133 RBI, .346 AVG
2009, Mo Vaughn (Boston), 50 Homeruns, 145 RBI, .345 AVG

I guess he was happy in Boston this time around. I was also under assuption that players fade quckly at 38 years old like Ken and Juan did. Happy to know that is not the case.

Other big hitters in my league

1) Mo Vaughn * 767
2) Juan Gonzalez 753
3) Ken Griffey 733
4) Mark Mcgwire 721
5) Dean Palmer 692
6) Albert Belle 659
7) Frank Thomas 652

You're in luck, there is!

Go to Online League Options and create an HTML report, making sure that you have player pages checked on. When you do this, simply go to your league.htm file and find vaughn's page.

Thanks spec! That is nifty tool they have implemented. It doesn't have retired players though..and I played through Mo's retirment. Well knowing is half the battle =) He ended up with 790 home runs.
