That’s a seriously crazy stat line. It’s also incredible how much the teams have improved in their hitting abilities. Combined coaching development and talent level improvements.

It will be amazing if the homers keep coming in the SEC league games. After watching the games in Houston, it’s definitely possible. 🤠

Who thinks that the home run record AND the grand slam record will both fall?

If they keep this pace, they'll hit 168 homers in 56 games 👀. Is that a record? Avg 3 home runs a game, 😂

I grew up in the 80's. bra. We built forts, out of sticks. And dug holes, with shovels. Rode bikes, to the store. And we liked it! No roaming dogs.

We built a 2 foot tall maze in my backyard that had a solid roof. It was very dark in there even in bright sunlight. My best friend and I were being chased by bullies and we made it to my backyard. We both went into our closed maze. I waited until the bullies saw me go into our maze. I flipped them the bird before they got to me and crawled into the maze. They were dumb enough to follow after me. Once they were in, my friend and I covered the entrance and exit openings and it became pitch black inside. I went inside and got us drinks and snacks. We listened to them bang around, cuss, and then start crying when they couldn’t get out. We got lunch and ate while listening to their begging and pleading to let them out. They were in there for about 2 1/2 hours.
I told them that we would open the exit if they promised to never bother us again. We promised them that we would tell everyone how two smaller guys outsmarted them and how much they cried if they ever bothered us again. We opened the exit. We then went inside my house and watched until they left.
Never did like bullies. 😂😡🤠

I grew up in the country. There was always one or two neighbors down the road we carried sticks for when walking home. If on bikes we went as fast as we could. Most people let their dogs roam in the yards where I grew up.

Have you ever heard of sympathetic pain?

A dude I know got kicked in the thigh by a zebra. He stayed off the leg and when he woke up the next morning, the opposite leg was hurting in the same exact place he got kicked on the other side.

I wrecked a dirt bike once and rolled my ankle really bad. The next day my opposite ankle felt like it was the one that got rolled.

Our bodies are weird.

How the hell does someone get kicked in the thigh by a zebra?

Were you only two feet tall at the time? Or were you VietCong-ing it in some subterranean tunnels? I was having trouble picturing where you and your friend were hanging out having snacks for hours

He was never the best hitter. And he is a cheater. Just like Sosa, Canseco, McGuire and many others. See this is what you don’t get. The substances Bonds and others used weren’t around when Hank Aaron set the home run record. They were kit around when Ruth hit 60 home runs and drove in 158 RBIs. These substances were not around when Ty Cobb hit .400 in back to back years.

When you cheat it sullies the game of baseball. It forever tarnishes whatever you accomplished. Bonds deserves zero credit for whatever did after he started cheating. And he never deserves to be in the Hall of Fame. If Pete Rose can’t get in then neither should Bonds. Pretty sad that you have the attitude oh well because some other guys cheated donut was ok for Bonds. lol. Give me a break.

Amphetamines were rampant in MLB for decades. Cobb and Ruth also played against only white dudes. Tough to compare guys across different generations of the game. Bonds was arguably the best of his time pre-roids.
