There’s no easily recognizable milestone for this one, but it’s still cool. The stat:
Jose Abreu hits another dinger, is still amazing
It’s almost worth listening to “PUT IT ON THE BOAARRRRRD” to see Abreu hit. Almost.

Abreu is only player in Major League history with 26 homers in first 70 career games
— Scott Merkin (@scottmerkin) July 1, 2014 The dinger:
That’s an opposite-field shot against a 97-mph fastball, and Abreu still has a shot to hit 30 before the break, despite a DL trip this year.
Anyone could have had him, remember. For a little more than the price of one Ubaldo or one Garza, anyone could have had him.
