On Sunday, I wrote about how Baseball-Reference.com is doing a count to the 250.000th homer in history. And, like everything in baseball, the actual homerun was going to be complicated. Rain rules in baseball are funny, if a game gets suspended, then all of the stats in the game are not official until the game is completed. Last night, there were a ton of homers in Detroit, where Gary Sheffield hit the big homer. However, if that game was suspended, then the count would have to continue last night. So, the back up 250,000th homer ended up being Jason Kendall who hit homer 250,004.
The game continued, and finished, so Sheffield had the magic homer. This was a pretty cool count by Baseball-Reference.com and if you havn't seen the count page, you should visit it here.
