slugging percentages all that um but he'll have the 500 homers so I I pose the question of is would Kyle be the first guy him and Giancarlo Stanton who have 500 homers who aren't in the Hall of Fame I just think it's an interesting question you really think is it because of the lack of longevity on Giancarlo Stanton's like consistency and the injuries that would keep him from being there it

The last decade for Giancarlo has been, if he makes it to 100, 115 games, you would consider that a successful year.

But Giancarlo does have the MVP.

Early in his career, he was a good defender.

But he won't have the counting...

The other counting stats that you need.

It depends on what the other numbers end up being.

Because I don't think there's a guy, and I'll have to double check this, that's in the Hall of Fame that has 500 homers and less than, we'll call it, 2,200 hits.

There are zero who aren't in the Hall of Fame that aren't under the cloud of steroids.

So that's why I'm saying Giancarlo and Kyle would be the first ones if they got there to get in.

I'm just talking about because of the pace he's been on with, he's averaging 46 homers a season since he got to Philly, and he's leading the National League in homers as we currently speak today.

Maybe that's too basic in this modern world, but... If he finishes with 515 homers and 1,400 hits, is that enough?

But he's 500 home runs.

I'm telling you, he only has 1,000 hits.

I looked at it.

This is not something I'm just pulling.

1,000 hits in the next five years?

No, because that means he'd have to average almost 200 hits a year.

He's not getting 200 hits a year.

So that's why I said his career is going to end up being almost identical to Dave Kingman outside of the homers because he'll likely get the 500.
