    Via Baseball-Reference.com, here’s some pitchers that Alex Rodriguez “owns” in terms of taking them deep, to date in his career:

     Vs. Pitcher	PA	HR
     Bartolo Colon	52	8
     Ramon Ortiz	66	8
     David Wells	77	8
     Tim Wakefield	89	7
     Jamie Moyer	59	6
     Sidney Ponson	73	6
     Jeff Suppan	36	6
     Jar. Washburn	53	6
     Freddy Garcia	41	5
     Ted Lilly     	50	5
     Est. Loaiza	24	5
     TOTAL		620	70
    

    So, if Alex wants to hit like Mark McGwire or Barry Bonds, all he has to do is face these guys for the entire season.

    Yes, I’m joking with this one – although the numbers shown are all true.
