Harper is Now at 262 On the All Time List, Tying the Great Clemente

Harper is Now at 262 On the All Time List, Tying the Great Clemente

Despite some health issues the last month, Bryce has made it back on the active roster and hit another long ball. 240 career homers ties him with Jeff Burroughs and Roberto Clemente.

Clemente is notable as an iconic player, who made it to the 3,000 hit club (no small feat), and died doing a humanitarian flight with emergency supplies crossing his native Caribbean Sea. I have associates who consider Clemente their favorite player of all time. He played from 1955 to 1972, all in Pittsburgh, and batted a career .317, with some of his best hitting years near the end of his career. He died at age 37 and was an automatic Hall of Famer.

Burroughs played with many teams between 1970 and 1985, hitting a career high 41 in 1977 with the Atlanta Braves. Although not mentioned a lot to my knowledge, being close to the top 250 major league home run hitters is pretty cool.

The league just announced their 20,000 player; it is pretty elite to be in the top 300 of those lists of they that could put some force on the pitches across the generations.
