| A-Rod’s Home Runs, Sparkline Style | | 2007-04-23 00:50:01 | | Though I’m an A’s fan through and through, and I — like any good baseball fan — can’t stand the Yankees, I can’t help but notice and respect what Alex Rodriguez has done so far this year.

However, don’t go forecasting 100 homers for A-Rod this season. He’s just in a hot streak. He’s been a streaky home run hitter his entire career, as shown by the sparklines below. Each mark indicates one game, with a red mark indicating how many homers he hit — the higher the bar, the more home runs. Gray is a homer-less game.
