The Florida Marlins and another home run record

The Florida Marlins could be the first team ever, in the National League, to have three 30-home run infielders.

The consistency with which Mike Jacobs, Dan Uggla and Hanley Ramirez have put balls in the seats has positioned them for a noteworthy accomplishment. Uggla hit his 30th Saturday and Jacobs reached the milestone Sunday. Ramirez is one shy of giving the Marlins their first trio of 30-homer players.

No National League team has fielded three 30-homer infielders. The onlyAmerican League team was the 2001Oakland Athletics with Jason Giambi, Miguel Tejada and Eric Chavez.

So it is possible that the Marlins will not only be the first team in baseball history to have all four infielders hit 25 home runs, they could be the first National League team to have three of them hit 30.

Of course, Fredi sees the bigger picture.

"Those are good individual feats," manager Fredi Gonzalez said. "Our team goal is not that. It's for us to get wins and playoffs, but at the end of the year those are good numbers for those guys."

And Fredi is right.  But still, it is kinda impressive.
