And it's up to 121 walks with today's games. Not trying to make excuses, but given the walks, it will mean even more if Mac breaks the record. What I have noticed is that lately, no one is giving him anything to hit. So, what happens is he becomes frustrated. He starts swinging at almost anything. Which then adds to the scouting report, pitch him away. Almost like a self-fulfilling prophecy. If he stays patient and Lankford stays hot, they will have to pitch to him. Just hope for his sake he doesn't run out of games. BTW, picked this up from one of those links you gave: "Became one of just seven players in ML history to hit 30 homers with fewer than 400 at bats and his 39 HR are the most ever by a player with fewer that 392 at bats (Hank Aaron, 40 HR in 392 at bats in 1973 " Add Griffey and Sosa and I think Greg Vaughn to that list this year. And this year, McGwire has 46HR in 360AB!! TG
