In 1998, I finished my 13th professional season with 17 home runs, a fairly average total for me, nothing special. But the first of these was special: It made me the first National League shortstop since Ernie Banks to hit more than 140 home runs over his career. Of course, compared to Banks, I sure took my time; Banks had tallied up 140 dingers by the end of his fifth season.
