Time for us to turn our attention to the great man, who is closing in on Lou Gehrig's all-time HR mark of 571. Mick has 17 so far this season and needs 14 more to edge past the Iron Horse, with Babe Ruth currently the only player between them.
I think Mick should still have a year or two left after this one, but his decline will be pretty steep even with the 3-year smoothing factor. It'd be nice for him to reach 600 and set the chasers - a couple of whom are nearing major milestones of their own - a target. I see Aaron as the most likely to eventually usurp him, but 600 in this save is a BIG number that may even challenge the Juice Crew a few decades down the road.
We'll count them down as they happen until he (hopefully) reaches the summit.
