vlad on the record

I understand this means absolutely nothing to most everybody who stops by here, but...

according to tsn.ca, after my boy Vladimir Guerrero belted his 399th and 400th HR tonight, he joins some exclusive company.

He is now one of only six players in baseball history to have hit 400 HR, while also owning at least a .320 batting average.

The other five?

Jimmie Foxx, Lou Gehrig, Stan Musial, Babe Ruth and Ted Williams.

In otherwords, no one has accomplished this who has played in the past 56 years. And the other five guys who have are considered in the top-20 best players of all-time discussion.

Just a little stat nerdiness on a Monday evening.

Congrats, Vlad
