    Bring back Hessman!

    Just saw in Sports Weekly that former Braves farmhand was 12 HR's short of the all time minor league record, as of April 12. Some time this season, he ought to become a real life Crash Davis.

    Did somebody say "Hessman?"

    I see he's sporting an .863 OPS in Toledo. He should have never spent that year (2011) in Japan.

    Somewhere off the coast of Maine there's a lighthouse with a door leading to a parallel universe where Mike Hessman had a nice, solid big league career with some dramatic moments off the bench.

    Is Hessman in danger of breaking the all-time minor league home run record?

    As of April 12, Hessman was sitting at 391, which is 12 less than the all time record. The standard was set by Ollie Carnegie, from Buffalo (my hometown). He played from 1931 to 1942.
