Four at 25 homers

There's a four way tie at 25

We're just past the halfway point of the 2014 season and we have four players with 25 home runs.  J. Abreu who earlier spent two weeks on the DL has come back better than ever and is on track to win the HR title.

The four players with 25 homers are:

          JOSE ABREU.   # 79 / 1B 

Plays for the CWS who have 80 games left to play. He has played in 68 games and has a PHR of 54.411

          jOHN LINDSEY.  # 46 / 1B

Plays for Diables Rojos Del Mexico who have 71 games left play. He has played in 64 games and has a PHR of 52.307

          NELSON CRUZ. # 23 / L

Plays for the Baltimore Orioles who have 82 games left to play. He has played in 79 games and has a PHR of 50.949

          EDWIN ENCARNACION  # 10 / 1B

Plays for the Toronto Blue Jays who have 71 games left to play. He has played in 82 games and has a PHR of 49.087

This is the tightest race we have had in ten years with no clear leader, but I look for ABREU to take the lead after the All Star break.

PHR Standings as of June 15, 2014

John Lindsey of the AAA Mexican League is only player on track to hit 50 homers this year ( PHR 57 ).   Hitting ten homers in a month is a tall order, but if he can do it he would be on track to join the 60 Homers Club this year.

All players with 20 homers are listed.

At Santa Anita Ron Ellis as two great horses running:

Race 3. Post 6 Seeking the West. 3-1

Race 7. Post 1 Wonderful Union 3-1

In the Belmont I will bet aginst the 3-5 California Chrome ( he is not bred for 1 1/2 miles) and hope he runs out. I only bet $24 this race, a $1 trifecta box:

Ride on Curlin. 5-1

wicked Strong. 9-1

Samara at. 20-1

General a Rod. 20-1

If CC wins I will have a $24 souvenir, if he runs out I may have a huge payday.

Good luck at the races 

Jose Abreu back from a three week DL break for Ankle Tendinitis has picked up where he left off and has moved into second place on the PHR list.
