Chasing Piazza/Robinson/Green/McGwire/Judge on Aug 13th
Cody Bellinger now has 34 home runs and could catch Mike Piazza today. He continues to outpace Frank Robinson and looks like a good bet to end the year with at least forty home runs and the NL Rookie Home Run record which currently stands at 38. He has also moved within striking distance of …
