With only four (4) games to go in the regular season only D. Ortiz and R. Howard have any chance to hit 60 homers. Ryan Howard who leades the leauge in home runs (Phillies)with 58 also has a .316 batting Avg. with 146 RBIs. He will need to hit two H.R.s in his last four games, very posible, it will be close. D. Ortiz of the Red Sox's has 54 home runs with four games to go. It's posible, but highly unlikley.
A look of the minors shows no one coming close to even 50 homers.
