TEN times since the start of 2011? I mean, hitting their 100th homeruns on the same day is just an awesome piece of random variation. But homering on the same day ten times in the last year and a half is just odd.

This is unspeakably awesome!

Side note: Father’s and Sons seem to have a bit more success than brothers in baseball.
List of Father/Son combos who each hit at least 100 home runs:

Felipe Alou (206) and Moises Alou (303)
Gus Bell (206) and Buddy Bell (201)
Buddy Bell (201) and David Bell (123)
Bobby Bonds (332) and Barry Bonds (762)
Ray Boone (151) and Bob Boone (105)
Bob Boone (105) and Bret Boone (252) and Aaron Boone (126)
Jose Cruz (165) and Jose Cruz Jr. (204)
Cecil Fielder (319) and Prince Fielder (248)
Ken Griffey Sr (152) and Ken Griffey Jr (630)
Gary Mathews Sr (234) and Gary Mathews Jr (108)
Hal McRae (191) and Brian McCrae (103)

Tony Armas Sr. hit over 100 home runs and his son has given up more than 100…so that counts too, right?

You can reduce that by at least a factor of 2. Maybe a factor of 4.

Don’t talk about Derek Jeter that way.

I’m pretty sure that A-Rod and his conjoined twin who lives in his anus have hit all of their home runs on the same day.

That’s not true. The Giambi Brothers hit their 100th home runs on the same day….

Ooh, no…wait….they hit their 100th Stanazol dealer on the same day.

My bad.

You forgot to carry the 5. The true calculation is 397 quadzillion to four.

Not as cool as the Griffeys going back-to-back but still awesome.

This is pretty great. It’s gotta be the first time this has happened on the same DAY.

I calculated the odds of this happening; it was approximately 326 gazillion bazillion to one.

Pretty cool. Somehow I knew BJ would hit his 100th homer at home. Nice for the fans to see. Too bad I’ll be at tomorrow’s game, and missed it! … But whatever helps the team win, I’ll take it. Congrats BJ & Justin.
