A-Rods 2007 Season

From WasWatching.com

If you need some perspective on what kind of offensive season that Alex Rodriguez is having this year...here's two items for you:

In terms of A.L. third basemen, the last time someone had a season like Alex (this year) was Al Rosen in 1953.

In terms of right-handed Yankees batters, the last time someone had a season like Alex (this year) was Joe DiMaggio in 1941. (Yeah, I know about the homer difference here - but, when you factor in Yankee Stadium back then, and all the doubles and triples that Joe hit, DiMaggio would have probably hit more than 40 homers today.)

With continued success through the rest of this month, A-Rod should better what Rosen did in 1953 and what DiMaggio did in 1941.

And, if that happens, Alex Rodriguez' 2007 should go down in history and both the greatest offensive season ever by an American League third baseman and the greatest offensive season ever by a right-handed Yankees batter.

Not to shabby having that as the last line on your resume in the year that you can opt for Free Agency at the end of the season.
