Mick was leading the NL with 33 HR.
He is still listed on the NL leaderboard after the trade. Is this the way it is IRL?

Yes, it is. In 1997 McGwire finished 9th in the AL in homers with 34. The 24 he hit for the Cardinals weren't enough for the top 10 in the NL that season. Even though he led the majors in homers that season, he's not on the top of either league's list.
