And we’re back from vacation … time for a standings update.
Team Minivan (376 HR) wrested the full-season lead away from Belichoke (374 HR), but this seems like it’s going to go the way of a pennant race … down to the wire. Mind you – now that I said that, one (or both) of them will tank the rest of the season. Herby’s Heros is waiting for that drop-off, mired in 3rd place at 368 HR.
Russellmania had the best week last week (26 HR) and rode it to the lead in the Second Half standings with 98 HR. Evil Toast drops to second place with 96 HR, just ahead of Team Minivan (95 HR).
