Bryce Harper Starts off 2025 with a Blast

While there is negativity in the world, locally, internationally, even on some personal level.

Some, or many, like me, are looking for jobs. Pass me the blessings, I hold out some hope.

Meanwhile I can stay a little (healthfully) distracted by watching a few statistics in the newly christened baseball season, where Mr. Harper has again gone long, as you can see below:

103.	José Bautista (15)	344	7244	R	HR Log
	Curtis Granderson (16)	344	8306	L	HR Log

114.	Bryce Harper (14, 32)	337	7103	L	HR Log
115.	Joe Adcock (17)	336	7305	R	HR Log
116.	Robinson Canó (17)	335	9550	L	HR Log
	Darryl Strawberry (17)	335	6326	L	HR Log

Bryce is now all by himself at 114th all time, having now surpassed Joe Adcock, the man who played 17 seasons and hung up his cleats in 1966 with the California Angels at age 38. He was born in Coushatta, Louisiana.

Cano and Strawberry are dangling there at 335 all-time, the former in 2022 and the Straw man in 1999, all at similar ages 38, 37.

Don Baylor is next! Big bopper that I remember from the 1980s. He was a leader in Hit-by-pitcher. I think that Bryce Harper will reach the top 100 home run hitters of all-time, if he is lucky, but July.

    Time will tell; I will check the Phils right now. Not playing! Whot! How now... many other teams are. 

I will check on Schwarber and Soto later. It is a season. And there is that Judge and Stanton fellows, too.

    Enjoy, baseball and long ball fans.
