Home Run Milestone
Baseball Reference is keeping track of all-time home runs hit, and as of this morning we are four away from 250,000. Someone will hit the milestone homer tonight. Baseball Think Factory will be keeping track, and I'll do my best to watch for it as well.
I remember when the 1,000,000th run was scored. I was watching a Yankees game, and knew then next run scored would set the milestone. Chris Chambliss almost made it, but was thrown out at the plate on a fielder's choice. Bob Watson then gained the milestone in a Houston game in San Francisco. This should be just as exciting.
Update: Looking at the schedule, my money would be for the milestone home run to happen in the Florida-Philadelphia game or the Cleveland-Baltimore game.
