So Citi Field is successful in being environmentally-friendly by using so little power.

And in a similar quiz three years from now folks would be scratching their heads saying; "Jordany Valdespin?!?!"

Kind of apropos of nothing, but I think Hank Greenberg once hit 39 home runs in Tiger Stadium--in one season.

Thought about it. Too impatient.

Yup! 1938. 39 at home + 19 on road.
Tiger Stadium (under various names) was berry berry good to Hank as he hit just shy of 62% of his HRs at home (205 of 331)

Mel Ott is the main guy I think of when it comes to home-cooking domination. He hit more than 63% of his dingers at home (323 of 511)

Mel Ott is the main guy I think of when I think of Sheman Potter.

    Winchester: Colonel, what gin rummy is to games of skill, Zane Grey is to literature. Therefore, I shall counter with something civilized-- Caruso.

    Potter: Enrico Caruso, the singer?

    Winchester: Yes. I do believe he sings.

    Potter: Nix on that. I hate opera!

    Winchester: Colonel, a closed mind is an empty mind. All I ask is that you listen and I assure you you will be carried away on majestic clouds of musical rapture.

    ...

    Potter: The guy sounds like a banshee in a bear trap.

    ...

    Winchester: Sir, this man is one of the giants of serious music.

    Potter: If I want music, I�ll send for my Tex Ritter 78s. If I want a giant, I�ll send for Mel Ott!



I realize it's Alda-fueled second-generation M*A*S*H*, but there's something pure about watching Potter get sputtering furious.

Winchester: "While I'm not familiar with Mr. Ott's work, a cowboy crooner, even one as noteworthy as 'ol Tex' can not be mentioned in the same breath as the immortal Enrico Caruso!"

Potter: "Oh yeah, you want to compare pipes, can that Caruso fellow YODEL?"

Winchester: "Not even at gunpoint!"

Your National League home run champ is still presented with the Mel Ott Award every year.

Congratulations to Murph for taking sole possession of fourth place on the Citi Field HR list. David, meanwhile, works feverishly to grab a bat and extend his lead over the last two series of 2013. Until he's activated, he's just not as bold as Murph or, dare we say, Duda.

The person who predicted that Jason Bay's home HR total with the Mets would be 10 can step right up and collect their prize.


I thought that Bay would've hit his 10th home Met HR by his first Met all-star break.

Okay -- I would've adjusted my prediction some once I saw those moronic outfield dimensions that Jeff Wilpon installed in the new stadium, but still, 10? Met lifetime 10?

Dave Hudgens prefers to think of it as conservation of slugging resources.
