SEXSON TIED FOR MAJORS LEAD IN HOMERUNS
Richie Sexson hit an absolute bomb last night in the DBacks win over the Cubs. It was estimated at 503 feet to straight-away centerfield, the longest homerun in Bank One Ballpark history. Richie Sexson said "That's the furthest one I've ever hit. I'd be lying if I said it wasn't".

After getting off to a slow start Sexson now finds himself tied with Bonds in the homerun race. I predicted that Sexson would hit 50 homeruns this year and I still see no reason why he won't. Sexson has been a notorious slow starter so to check the box scores and see him hitting at about a .190 clip after the first two weeks wasn't a surprise but now he seems to have his timing down.
