Talk:1998 Major League Baseball home run record chase

Table
I feel like this page would benefit greatly from a table of the two players' homeruns. I started to work on one and left it as a comment so it would not appear. My sources are

(1) http://www.baseball-almanac.com/feats/feats1.shtml (McGwire) and

(2) http://www.baseball-almanac.com/feats/feats12.shtml (Sosa),

though the McGwire table doesn't have opposing teams, so that will have to come from elsewhere.

I've got Excel set up to pretty much generate whatever I need so it doesn't have to be done manually; however, at this point I've stopped because I'm not sure what information would be best included in the table. Any thoughts on this are appreciated.

Proposed removal of redundant publisher information
A number of citations in this article unnecessarily include the publisher for periodicals and websites that have their own Wikipedia article. This information has no value to anyone wanting to check or track down references. For example, publisher=Washington Post Company for references to The Washington Post, or publisher=MLB Advanced Media for references to MLB.com, only make the article longer - significantly longer when repeated many times - without adding anything useful. Therefore I plan to upgrade the article's citations to remove all such redundant publisher info, bringing them into line with the recommended use of the cite template (see Template:Citation). I'll also remove redundant 'location' parameters (e.g. work=New York Times|location=New York), as suggested by the template's usage guidelines. Please raise any questions here or on my talk page.
