Grandy and Tex.....Mantle and Maris???

On July 5th Curtis Granderson hit 2 HR's to give him 25 on the season. That is the name number Mark Teixeira has for the yanks this year. They are the first teammates since Mantle and Maris to hit 25 HR's each before the All-Star break. They did it in the magical season of 1961. At that time Maris had 33 HR's and Mantle had 29 HR's.

Aramis The Great

After a slow start Aramis Ramirez has been one of the hottest sluggers in baseball. He has 10 HR's in his last 15 games. He now has 15 total on the season and is only 10 away from last years total. During this stretch he also raised his avg to .300 and put himself on pace for 100 RBI's.
