All Else Confusion

Congratulations to Big Papi! After tying Jimmie Foxx last night for the Boston Red Sox single season home run record with number 50, he hit home runs 51 and 52 tonight. It couldn't happen to a nicer guy. And, it's extra special after the heart scare that he had in August.

Making it even sweeter, Ortiz hit his home runs on the last night of a home stand - and against his old team, the Minnesota Twins. He was only the 6th left hand batter to hit a home run off of Johan Santana this year.

Jimmie Foxx's single season record of 50 was set back in 1938.

Ortiz is going to auction off HR ball #50 with proceeds to go to the Boys and Girls Clubs of America. He's keeping #51 though!
