JJ Wetherholt will have many special nights in MLB for the St. Louis Cardinals . One of the first came Tuesday, when he blasted two home runs for the first time, doing it in front of the home fans.
In the process, he temporarily joined some fascinating ranks in Cardinals home run history. When you look way down a franchise's all-time home run charts, you find some fascinating names. Wetherholt entered Tuesday night with one career homer.
He exited it with three. That means he passed all the Cardinals who ever hit two homers, including Cy Young, Chris Carpenter and Miles Mikolas. Yes, that Cy Young, who played two seasons for the Cardinals in 1899 and 1900.
