A-Rods 500th HR
I was wondering why they were replacing the baseballs with the special hologram balls when A-Rod only had 498 . It is because when they finish the suspended game with the Orioles Fri. night, and if he hits one, last nights HR will be his 500th not his 499th due to the fact all records for that game revert to the original date. I guess who ever caught 499 will be rooting for A-Rod tomorrow.

The game after Rodriguez hit 492 was suspended, and is scheduled to be finished tomorrow (today, I guess---3AM here). If he hits a homerun in it, it would be 493, not 500. All the others would be pushed up a number---the previous 493 would become 494, etc. Most importantly, 499 would become 500. The reason for this is that it is still considered the June 28th game.
Looking for Jonny Gomes cards, especially Triple Threads and printing plates. Will consider all cards, though. Got something? Contact me at c_u_l_1@yahoo.com
atleast until next year when they start the "Road to 1000" set
