Prince Fielder became the youngest major league player ever to hit 50 home runs in a season, connecting twice in the Milwaukee Brewers' 9-1 victory over the St. Louis Cardinals on Tuesday night.
The win pulled the Brewers to within two games of the NL Central-leading Chicago Cubs, who lost at Florida 4-2 Tuesday night. With five games remaining for each team, the Cubs' magic number remained stuck at four.
Fielder joined his father Cecil as the only father-son tandem to hit 50 home runs in a season. The elder Fielder hit 51 with the Detroit Tigers in 1990.
I purchased my potential playoff tickets today - 4 tickets for the Division Series Home Game 1, if needed, of course.
The Brewers still face an uphill climb to unseat the Cubs in the final week of the season, but at least they're making it interesting.
