    After considerable debate and hand wringing we decided to keep threads like these open. Please don't make us close them again by arguing why this is or is not a legitimate thread. Leave that decision to the mods, Boss and GIK.

    I'll be sorely disappointed if we lose this thread. It's a great read every couple of days to stroll down memory lane and remember some of the players Dunn happens to be passing with his HR totals.

    Thanks to all of you that have posted your enjoyment of the thread. I appreciate your comments. It takes a lot of work to create the updates and bios but the fact most people appreciate it makes it a fun job.

    Now I feel tons of pressure to make the posts live up to your expectations!

    I am working on the next update for homer #282. It is going to be a long post because Dunn caught three famous players with his latest dinger. I am also adding a new wrinkle or two to the updates that I think you will find interesting.

    If you have any ideas to improve the thread please let me know. Also, if you have any extra anecdotes or information about Adam Dunn, his homers, or especially the players he is passing please feel free to post them in this thread.

    Just an idea here, but I think this would be a wonderful book. I'm not kidding. Mini-biographies on the top HR's hitters of all time as a truly great HR hitter passes them by.

    Ever since he passed me in the fantasy league I have refused to talk to him...

    Did Dunn hit a HR while wearing the Majestic snafu jersey the other night?

    Yes. I realize that is a problem. I will look into Photobucket for sure.

    Re: Tracking Adam Dunn on the All-Time Career Home Run List

    Wow AD, great posts.

    One quibble:

    In the ensuing game, O'Neill does hit two home runs, but one of them is an inside-the-park home run, so the little boy Kramer is trying to appease is not totally satisfied.
    In fact, the boy is at first happy with the inside-the-park home run, but then the announcer says that it is being scored a triple with a throwing error!



    Dunner is off to an amazing start, as he's hitting .310/.508/.667 - 1.175 OPS with 17 walks to nine strikeouts.

    If he stays healthy, Dunn has a chance to put up some scary numbers in his career. I'm talking 600+ homers and 1500+ walks. Only nine players in the history of the game have hit 500+ homers and walked 1500+ times. Right now, Dunn is at 282 homers and 814 walks.
    Agreed. Also, interesting to note that Dunn has struck out 11 times this year. The Hairston/Dickerson platoon of awesomeness has struck out 16 times. That will be a fun number for me to track this year, after decades (seemingly) of listening to Marty talk about how Dunn's strike outs were killing the team.
