    In this year of the Three True Outcomes, all sorts of long-ball records have and will be broken. Just last week, we saw Miami's Giancarlo Stantonblow past the Marlins' single-season home run record of 42, set 21 years ago by Gary Sheffield. Now, Kansas City's Mike Moustakas is poised to join Stanton in setting the new mark for his franchise. We're still a couple of weeks away from Labor Day.

    Moose, as he's called, will become the Royals' one-year home run king when he hits No. 37 -- he had 35 entering the weekend -- and will be breaking a record that in its own way is one of the more noteworthy marks in the game. It has been a long time coming, not just for the organization, but for Moustakas, the logical candidate to wear the K.C. home run crown, probably more so than the guy who has worn it since the mid-1980s, Steve Balboni.
