While watching tonight's White Sox game, I saw a graphic after Adam Dunn hit a mammoth home run as he pads his resume for comeback player of the year. Anyways, the graphic showed that Adam Dunn has moved into a 66th place tie for the most home runs in MLB history. The tie is with two players: Norm Cash and Jeff Kent. Norm Cash is a member of the '59 Go-Go Sox who was foolishly traded to Detroit before the 1960 season where he enjoyed 5 years of hitting 30 home runs or more. The other, Jeff Kent, whom I fucking hate. Along with Brady Anderson, Kent is a redneck posterboy for the steroid baseball era (Yes, I realize being from suburban Los Angeles doesn't make you a redneck but look at his 'stach).
Moral of the story: reminders of the 'Roid Era, and bad Sox moves for the rest of my life are going to bug the shit out of me.
