- It's been a bad year for Jimmy Foxx, who formerly held the record for most homers for a hitter playing in Boston (50) and Philadelphia (58), and is on the verge of losing both in the same season. Ortiz took the first record down a couple of days ago. Ryan Howard tied the second one last night, hitting number 58 against the Marlins.
- (XX actually set his record playing for the Philadelphia A's, an American League team which later moved to Kansas City, and then to Oakland. Foxx still holds the season record for that franchise. The Phillies record was 48 before this season, a feat accomplished by Mike Schmidt.)
- Miguel Cabrera become the fourth player to have 50 doubles and 25 homers in a season before his 24th birthday.
