Thanks to the steroid era, baseball's 500 Club has lost a lot of luster. Luckily, it's not the only 500 landmark in sports.
-There's 25 members of baseball's 500 club. 10 of those players played in the steroid era, and everyone in that group was either A) caught using steroids B) caught lying about steroids C) forgot English when asked about steroids, or D) suspected of using steroids at some point. Except this guy.
-Only 11 NFL quarterbacks have thrown for 500+ yards in a single game.
-Dan Marino and Tom Brady make sense. Vince Ferragamo had me clicking on google, and what do you know, he has his own website. Not only that, but there's actually a Vince Ferragamo fan club. That's right. For only $30.00 you get an autographed photo, a Vince Ferragamo button, and an autographed letter thanking you for that $30.00. I'd pay Vince $30.00 just to see how many people are actually in his fan club.
-The Kansas City Royals and Pittsburgh Pirates have combined for 2 seasons over .500 since 1993. The Red Sox have accomplished the feat 16 times in that span. The Yankees 19.
-2 pitchers, Trevor Hoffman and Mariano Rivera have over 500 saves. Rivera now has 603, two more than Hoffman. No active player is within 170 of the 500 mark.
-The Indy 500 and Daytona 500 are the only races Americans remotely care about.
That's all for now.
