Schwarbombs Lead to Rare Air and History

With his 20th home run in his first 45 games, Kyle Schwarber became the eighth player in MLB history to accomplish that feat. He joins Cy Williams, Mickey Mantle, Ken Griffey Jr, Barry Bonds, Mark McGwire, Luis Gonzalez, and Albert Pujols in the historic feat. May 15th also marks the earliest date any player has reached 20 home runs, breaking Luis Gonzalez’s 2001 record of May 17th.

Mookie Betts Number 300!

Mookie Betts hits his 300th home run against the Minnesota Twins on June 24, 2026. Mookie has been struggling this year but looks to bounce back and get back to the form we all know he can play at. Mookie is the 167th MLB player to have 300 or more home runs in his career.

A Once in a Lifetime Game

The Phillies are the second team in MLB history to have a player hit for the cycle and a player hit 3 homers in the same game. The other was the Yankees on June 3, 1932. Tony Lazzeri hit for the cycle, and Lou Gehrig knocked 4 home runs. The Yankees outpaced the Philadelphia Athletics to win 20-13. Lazzeri’s cycle was achieved in the top of the 9th inning, and nearly came in order. He struck out in the top of the 2nd, but then singled, doubled, and tripled in his next three plate appearances. He singled again in the top of the 8th before homering to complete the cycle in the top of the 9th. The Yankees went on to win the 1932 World Series, so teams who achieve a game of this statistical anomaly currently have a 100% success rate in securing a title in the fall.
