Berkman is at 43 now with 10 games to go. In an otherwise mediocre Stro's season he's been the brightest bright spot and it would be great to see him hit the half century mark.
1. Jeff Bagwell - 47 (2000) 2. Richard Hidalgo - 44 (2000) 3. Jeff Bagwell - 43 (1997) 3. Lance Berkman - 43 (2006) 5. Jeff Bagwell - 42 (1999) 5. Lance Berkman - 42 (2002) 7. Jeff Bagwell - 39 (1994) 7. Jeff Bagwell - 39 (2001) 7. Jeff Bagwell - 39 (2003) 10. Moises Alou - 38 (1998) and knocked out of the top 10... 11. Jimmy Wynn - 37 (1967)
Not in this era. He needs to perform for quite a few more years. He does have the potential to go down as the 3rd best switch hitter of all time. Too early to talk Hall though.
Crikey! Not a lot of faith in Berkman hitting 7 more homers before the season ends. Anyone know what's the most homers Glen Davis hit as a Stro? I remember in the '80's he was suposed to be our big slugger.
never thought about comparing berkman and larry before. i never remember that rose was a switch hitter.
I still remember watching Davis bat in the dome. They would play the Superman music and put that big bullseye up on the screen. Ah... dome memories.
