Just wanted to acknowledge some of the major baseball milestones that were recently achieved or will be in the near future.

Citypixel’s PixelYork is currently a Yankees town (but can be a Mets town soon too), so big props to Alex Rodriguez, who was the youngest player to ever reach 500 HRs. Just incredible, and maybe one day we will talk about another record he may break from another guy I will acknowledge later in the post. Same congrats goes to Frank Thomas, who hit his 500th HR earlier in the season, and a good luck to Jim Thome who is only 10 away.

Now on to one of the most controversial HRs in the history of the game. Barry Bonds hit his 755th last night, tying him with Hammering Hank Aaron at #1 on the overall list. We all know this story is clouded with a steroids scandal, but seeing this issue existed throughout the era, it’s difficult and unfair to scapegoat one player and we should still remember this day as a great achievement.

And lastly, Tom Glavine is attempting to be one of few pitchers to reach the 300 wins milestone today as he pitches against the Cubs at Wrigley field today. He may be the last guy to reach that in a long time.

So what does this have to do with CityPixel? Well did you know that PixelYork has it’s very own state-of-the-art venue within the city? Yeah, that’s right if you Jump To 6100-6600 Lenox Avenue you can visit PY Stadium:

Now the fun part is to hear all of your suggestions to determine what you would like to see us do with the stadium? Do you want to view concerts or stream sporting events? Let us know and we will add it to our list of enhancements to review!

Now on to the weekly trivia question where you are eligible to increase your pixels total you can use to purchase premium goods. First three to email me the correct answer wins.

PixelTrivia of the Week (Baseball style):
Craig Biggio also reached a big milestone this year (3000 hits), but he is determined to break another all time record this season. Name the record he is attempting to break, the player he plans to take the record from, and the number he is looking to surpass?

Lets all wish Mr. Glavine good luck today as he attempts to win #300!
