41 games to try and make the playoffs, sure, but also 41 games to set in stone all the stats - good, bad, weird, depressing, hilarious - that we’ll spend the offseason gazing at.
And here’s one that could happen: Mike Yastrzemski could lead the team in home runs.
As of Thursday morning, here’s the list of Giants home run leaders:
Yastrzemski has some work to do, but he’s sporting a dramatically higher home run rate than Pillar and Belt, and a notably higher rate than Longoria. And Sandoval is injured.
Which means it’s a distinct possibility that Yaz will lead the team in home runs in 2019.
