09/03: A-Rod and 50
A-Rod currently sits at 45 home runs. The Yankees have played 137 games and he has played 135. He's on pace to hit 53 home runs. Only 3 Yankees have ever hit 50 home runs or more. They are Roger Maris (61 in 1961), Babe Ruth (60 in 1927, 59 in 1921 and 54 in 1920 and 1928) and Mickey Mantle (54 in 1961 and 52 in 1956). Not too shabby. If he hits 50, he'll do something for us that no one has done in 46 years.
