Four Dominican ballplayers are making opposing pitchers cringe every time they come up to the batters box. Albert Pujols, Carlos Pena and Nelson Cruz are crushing fastballs at an alarming rate, with the three players vying for top spot in this year's homerun race. Pena, first base for the Tampa Bay Rays, is a surprise in this group, having hit 17 home runs this year and is projected to finish with 53 homers if he continues at his current pace. Cruz, playing in his first full season in the Bigs has hit 14 total homers for the Texas Rangers and is expected to hit 46 dingers, if he continues at his current pace. Pujols, continuing what is also certainly a Cooperstown career, has hit 16 homeruns thus far and if he keeps up the pace he could wind up with 49 long balls for the season.
