 Do Chicks Still Dig...?
This is the time of year when season preview articles start coming out. I'm bracing myself for a number of oracles putting the Giants into the projected NL West cellar. I've seen at least one article talking about who might hit what career milestones this season. Everyone is thinking about Barry Bonds and 755, of course.
But why, I wonder, does no one seem to be talking about the number 73 in relation to Albert Pujols and Ryan Howard. Both players will be 27 this season, which means they should be peaking right about now. Pujols hit 49 homers in an injury-marred 143 games. Howard mashed 58 homers, despite tailing off in September. Either or both could make a run at the single season home run record in 2007.
Is everyone just too freaked out by the Barry Bonds Saga to talk about it? Or am I just not looking in the right places? Finally, if someone does break Bonds' record this season, how will you feel? Will it overshadow 756, for you or for the sport as a whole?
