250,000th Home Run Ever Hit - Baseball-Reference.com
The most home runs hit in a day in the last 52 years was 62 on July 2, 2002. Given all of the rainouts on the east coast likely today, I'm guessing we won't exceed that today, so tomorrow looks like the big day.
We are averaging 2 home runs/game this year, so we are about 32 games short of the milestone. Could happen late tomorrow or perhaps in the east coast games on Monday.
UPDATE: Now at 249,969. I'm maintaining a live count at BaseballThinkFactory.org.
