Every player remembers how they felt when they hit their first home run when they were a kid ; then again in high school, college, and organized baseball... you light up like a Christmas tree. But only a few can say they reached the 500 home run mark, and that's something really special." |

The men who have achieved that mark, had the unique ability to wait for their pitch and drive it out of the ballpark, with authority. They are truly baseball's Power Brokers." |
