Stat Of The Day: 200 And Counting

by Kyle Lobner on May 11, 2011 4:30 PM CDT in Statistical Analysis

It took him over a week to do it but Fielder finally hit his 200th home run in the fifth inning Wednesday, and did so in an important situation: His two run shot tied the game at five, bringing the Brewers back from the dead temporarily in today's series finale.

As you've likely heard, the home run was the 200th of Fielder's career. He's just the fifth Brewer ever to reach that mark, and he's now just one long ball shy of tying Cecil Cooper for fourth place on the all time list:

Player	HR
Robin Yount	251
Geoff Jenkins	212
Gorman Thomas	208
Cecil Cooper	201
Prince Fielder	200
Ben Oglivie	176
Greg Vaughn	169
Jeromy Burnitz	165
Paul Molitor	160
Ryan Braun	138

It's relatively likely Fielder will pass Cooper, Thomas and Jenkins to become the second most prolific home run hitter in Brewer history by season's end.

I also stretched the above list out to tenth to show you something I forgot to mention earlier: Ryan Braun's home run on April 29 pushed him past Rob Deer and into sole possession of tenth place on the all time list.

You know it's funny..

Both Fielder’s 100th & 200th HRs weren’t broadcast on local TV….

This game is bigger than YOU or ME.
Without me, the game will go on...Without the game, I won't go on

When will Braun be the all-time Brewers HR leader?

A contest should be set up now with guesses as to the date Braun breaks Yount’s club HR record. I’m going with April 8, 2015.
