Sheffield--500 HR

Gary Sheffield just became a member of the 500 homer club--hit his first of the year tonight after sitting through the (agonizingly long, I'd imagine) off-season with 499. Guess he can retire now (at age 40, his skills have declined significantly) with his Hall of Fame credentials strengthened (500 HR used to be a H of F guarantee, but not so certain in this age of steroid suspicions.)
