MikeI'm not a stats guy. But baseball is the ultimate game for stats. There are certain threshholds that are held dear to our hearts. Threshholds that have evolved over time. 3000 k's, 500hr's, etc. etc. But if you look back, there are only "114" guys that have hit 300 home runs, or more, in their career. Some of course are still playing. In the scheme of things, that is not very many guys. When you consider how many players have been in the bigs the last 125 years or so. I've stated it ot many friends, and I will say it again, hitting a major league home run is the hardest thing to do in any professional sport. makes you appreciate Ruth and the boys even more. Just a comment on something I noticed this morning. Sorry for the OT.
