Four more jacks today makes it an even 50 for the month of May, setting a franchise record for most homers in a month.
The 2010 Jays are on pace for 267 swats, which would break the all-time single-season record set by Seattle in '97.
While that's perhaps a stretch, the franchise single-season record of 244 (set in 2000) is well within striking distance.
Some of the members of that '00 club: Tony Batista (41), Brad "Pipes" Fullmer (32), Jose Cruz (31), Raul Mondesi (24), and the Original Alex Gonzalez™ (15).
What makes this 2010 outburst even more impressive is that pretty much everyone on that 2000 Jays squad was juicing.
No one will accuse the likes of Jose Bautista (195 pounds) or Aaron Hill (5'11", 205) of being roided up, especially now that steroids have been completely and totally removed from baseball, right?
Anyway, home runs are awesome.
