MYTH: 500 homers Means NOTHING anymore

This is a really low down dirty big myth. Especially in the steroid era, everyone thinks that 500 homers means nothing anymore. Take out your calculator right now, because we're going to compunct some calculations.
Do 500/15. You know what that equals? 33.3. Hit the clear button.

Okay, now type in 25+15. That equals 40.

What do these calculations mean? I would say the average baseball player starts playing at around 25 years old. He would have to average 33.3 homers PER YEAR until he's 40 years old to get to 500. How many players do YOU know that can do THAT? Answer: NOT MANY.

So, the moral of the story is this: STOP THINKING 500 homers means nothing anymore, okay?
