Ted Simmons+ (21) | 248 | B | HR Log |
Mr. Harper Tied for 241st place All Time
Bryce had a good game but the Nats finally got off the slide.
Soto hit a big one to get to 86 in his young career, still age 22, a mere 9 homers from the top 1,000. Where will La Fiera be after 6 more years? Who knows.
Goose played his beginning years with the Washington Senators, from 1920 on. He had some good years to lead the league in triples a couple of times, too. He played till 1938, born in Salem, New Jersey in 1938.
Ted Simmons made the Hall of Fame, playing from 1968 to 1988 with the Cardinals, Brewers, then the Braves for the last three years. Lifetime .285 hitter, not exactly sure why his numbers merit the call.
He was born in Highland Park, Michigan.
Goslin made the Hall, too, lifetime batting of .316.
That seems much better, in a time when the Babe and a few others were making the long ball a more popular thing.
