Just sitting here at work browsing MLB league leaders and saw Adam Dunn was top 5 in AL HR leaders this year.

http://espn.go.com/mlb/player/stats/_/id/4808/adam-dunn

Went to his career stats and saw, judging by his current pace (avg 33 HR per yr), he'll probably reach 500 HR in 2015. He's at 439 career HR right now. Could he be the first 500 HR guy (non-roids) to not make the HOF?

In 2013 the 500 HR plateau isn't viewed like it once was...

Dunn obviously isn't going into the HOF (career .238 BA), but he's an interesting situation nonetheless - especially if he hangs on and plays past age 38 or so (He's 33 now) and shoots well past 550 or more without anyone noticing

Consistency :lol:

2002 - 26 HR
2003 - 27 HR
2004 - 46 HR
2005 - 40 HR
2006 - 40 HR
2007 - 40 HR
2008 - 40 HR
2009 - 38 HR
2010 - 38 HR
2011 - 11 HR
2012 - 41 HR
2013 - 33 HR

True, with steroids the "benchmarks" are all ****** up. But his numbers do bring up an interesting debate. He's possibly this era's Dave Kingman
