Will the 250,000th Home Run be Hit Today?

I know it’s bad form to use the keys to plug your own stuff, but it is the start of the NFL season and a few weeks from the nitty gritty of the pennant race, so I figured baseball fans might need something to do today.  And I could really use some help as well.  By the best accounting available, there were 249,969 regular season home runs hit from 1876 to the end of play yesterday.  Given there are fifteen games today (The Orioles have no Sunday game scheduled?) and the league averages just over two home runs a game we could get to #250,000 sometime late today.  There were 40+ hit yesterday.  I am hoping to keep a running log on BBTF today so that with some exactness we can determine just who hit #250,000.  Thank you for any help you are willing to provide.

Baltimore's game was moved to Saturday because of opening day for the RAvens but then it got rained out.

I've set up a little script that downloads a live scoreboard every 30 seconds, and I'm logging that, so we should be in good shape to at least recreate the ordering after the fact.

Be patient. Most games are just getting underway and the starters are in. I expect the homers to start coming later.

Sean do you have a historical breakdown by inning for homers? I seem to recall Vincent having it in his book but I don't have it around. How about just in the last 5 years or so? I know one can do it on a team by team basis but is it possible to do a whole league or era?
   15. Sean Forman Posted: September 07, 2008 at 05:44 PM (#2931851)
Since 1999. You can figure out which innings have the top of the order up most. Sixth is probably due to the relievers coming in.


| Innings | HRs  |
+---------+------+
| 1       | 6109 |
| 2       | 5622 |
| 3       | 5846 |
| 4       | 6487 |
| 5       | 5846 |
| 6       | 6546 |
| 7       | 5578 |
| 8       | 5261 |
| 9       | 3907 |
| extra   |  836 |
   16. McCoy Posted: September 07, 2008 at 05:46 PM (#2931853)
Thanks

4th innings looks to be the top order seeing that starter a second time around and the sixth because of relievers and a tiring starter.

Somewhere in my archives of books I have what appears to be the "press kit" (or whatever you would like to call it) from a Tootsie Roll promotion for MLB's 1,000,000th run.

It turned out to be quite a day for baseball....

By Alyson Footer / MLB.com

HOUSTON -- He batted .295 over nearly two decades, amassed 1,825 hits, hit 184 homers and drove in 989 runs. But in the book "Who's Who in Baseball History," the first sentence of Bob Watson's bio reads "Scoring Major League Baseball's millionth run in 1976 brought Watson more publicity than his entire career."

Insulting? Nah, said Watson. It's true.

"It doubled my fan mail," he said. "It improved from four pieces a week to eight."

The day he scored that historic millionth run is still vivid in Watson's memory. The Astros were in San Francisco to play the Giants in a doubleheader. When the day started, the countdown to one million was down to 50. With the East Coast contests already in full swing, by the time the first game started, the number was whittled to five.

Watson led off the second inning with a walk. The next batter, Jose Cruz, also walked. Watson checked the Candlestick Park scoreboard and saw the countdown was now at one.

Suddenly, Milt Mays hit a three-run homer. Watson began to trot from second base to third when he heard his teammates in the bullpen yelling "Run! Run! Run!"

"So I took off on a dead sprint," Watson said. Unbeknownst to him, Cincinnati's Dave Concepcion had just hit a homer in Cincinnati and was also running around the bases at a frenetic pace.

"I beat him by one and a half seconds," Watson remembered.

For his accomplishment, Watson collected prizes from the sponsors of a nationwide contest where fans entered their guesses on when and where the run would score. He received a Seiko watch, one million Tootsie Rolls and one million pennies. The pennies were donated to charity. The Tootsie Rolls were donated to the Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts.

And against his better wishes, Watson's shoes were donated to the Hall of Fame.

That's 2 homers in 1.1 innings for Ryan Feierabend. Maybe he'll push this to 250,000 all by himself.

"Feierabend" means "evening relaxation" or something like that.

With about 3.5 games worth of innings left, I don't believe we'll hit it tonight (especially with Hamels and Santana going in the last game), but it could still happen. Having it happen on Sunday Night Baseball would be a pretty good way to see it happen.

Basically, it is just a perl script that uses lynx to dump your favorite site's scoreboard page and then uses regular expressions to pullout all of the HR lines. Something I put together in 5-10 minutes. Run a loop and tell it to sleep for 30 seconds at the end of the loop and voila.
   78. Crispix Attacks Posted: September 07, 2008 at 09:01 PM (#2932182)
I find the "15 runs" a lot more shocking than the "no homers", since the Giants are running their all-scrappy-youngsters lineup out there (plus Randy Winn) and Nate McLouth had to leave the game after getting hit in the face with a ball.

7 more between the Mets - Phillies game and the last few innings of Ari-LAD and PIT - SF? Not looking likely.

Yeah, probably by 8pm tomorrow night, though.

I predicted it would be Yuniesky Betancourt -- did Jose Lopez devour him and gain his powers?

Of course, I also predicted it would happen 4 days later than now.

Santana. Not likely to be much exposure for the Mets' 'pen.

Is Taylor Teagarden related to the fabled jazz trombonist/vocalist Jack Teagarden (who was a native Texan)?

jazz trombonist/vocalist Jack Teagarden
Think maybe I should check www.jazz-tromonist-reference.com???

According to this site:
So is the sophomore catcher related to jazz giant Jack Teagarden, the legendary Texas trombonist and vocalist whose work contributed heavily to the development of the genre? The answer is yes. According to an interview on the Web site www.texassports.com, the baseball-playing Teagarden believes the trombone-playing Teagarden was his great-great-uncle.

Yet somehow I doubt he would use "Rockin' Chair" or one of his great-great-uncle's other classics as his batting intro music...though I'd like to see him try it.
   95. Stevis Posted: September 08, 2008 at 12:45 AM (#2932440)
Delgado wants to get us there tonight.
   96. JJ1986 Posted: September 08, 2008 at 12:45 AM (#2932441)
Delgado again.
   97. Quiet Flows the Don Taussig Avenger (Edmundo) Posted: September 08, 2008 at 12:56 AM (#2932464)
Delgado's two homers must have gone close to a combined 900'. Hamels hung a curve for the first one and then hung a change-up for the second. They were monster shots.

I'm going to guess Magglio Ordonez off Gio Gonzalez.

I'll go Joey Votto off Dave Bush.
