The 300 Report: Howard vs. Schmidt
Bob Vetrone Jr.
In case you missed it — and truth be told, we almost did — the Phillies' Ryan Howard clubbed his 300th home run Saturday, doing it in the second fewest games (1,093) ever (Ralph Kiner, 1,087).
So, here we compare Howard numbers at the time of his 300th homer with those of Mike Schmidt at the moment he reached that milestone:

I'd be curious of the comparison between them for their 100th, 200th, 250th and 300th HRs. I have a feeling Howard destroys Schmidt in the short run but over the long run Schmidt catches up. It should be interesting to see their stats IF Howard gets to 400 HRs.— Phillies2008WSChamps
