Josh Naylor crushed his 25th home run of the season on Wednesday, making the Cleveland Guardians first baseman the 10th Canadian-born player to reach the mark.
The Cleveland Guardians may have lost both ends of their doubleheader against the Arizona Diamondbacks on Wednesday, but one of their top sluggers still managed to make history.
Naylor's home run in game one was his 25th of the season. He is one of just two Cleveland batters to have more than 11 homers in 2024. Joey Votto leads all Canadians with seven 25-home run seasons, while Jason Bay and Larry Walker each posted five. Justin Morneau, Vladimir Guerrero Jr. and Matt Stairs each did so three times and Corey Koskie did it twice.
