    ^1 Pace is calculated through total possible games for a player that season…in some cases this is 155/163 because players’ stats counted in rained-out games

  2. I fucking KNEW it. With the fans chanting like that there was no way he wasn’t gonna smash it.

  3. No joke probably one of the biggest baseball boners I’ve ever had. A double dump for #60 to a stadium full of MVP chants

  4. 60 home runs is one thing, but doing it on the night that the Mariners will almost certainly clinch their first division title in 24 seasons is just perfect

  5. MVP chants while you hit your 60th HR on the likely night you clinch the division for your team that hasn’t won it in 24 years. I’d ask if it can get better, but he already hit a walk off homer in the bottom of the 9th to send his team to the playoffs for the first time in 21 years. How can you not be romantic about baseball
