513, on Dad's Day, of course*

Junior smacked his 513th career homerun yesterday. The shot put him past Mr. Cub Ernie Banks and Eddie Matthews for sole possession of 16th all-time. The homerun was also the fifth time in Junior's career he has hit one out on Father's Day.

Junior always seems to come through and hit one for his parents. His mother's birthday, his father's birthday, Mother's Day, Father's Day, all days when it has been a good bet that he would hit a homerun. Can we start inventing holidays to boost his total? Mothers of 'juniors' day? Fathers of Sons who are named after them day? Major Leaguer Father's day?
