After mashing three homers in two days, Bobby Abreu now has a total of 14 on the season with 54 games to play, a figure that the ESPN fantasy boys projected to be his take for the full-162.
More importantly, the power surge leaves Abreu just 4 short of Steve Balboni's hallowed mark of 41 homers as a Yankee.
"I know I haven't done anything yet," Abreu said. "But even to be mentioned in the same breath as Mr. Balboni is amazing."
The timing of what local papers are now calling The Quest is not lost on Abreu, who said "for this to be happening in The Stadium's final season -- and in a playoff race -- is almost too much..."

Who keeps voting for Cano? Igawa is DOMINATING AAA! Vote him in!
Who keeps voting for Cano? Stop it! YOU'RE TURNING HIM INTO DAN UGGLA!
I wanted to vote for K-Farn, but your comments swayed my vote to R-Cano, which put him in a tie with Igawa at 49 votes per man.
Congratulation to Bobby Abreu and his stellar season. Balboni is a class act and will be the first to shake hands with Mr Abreu should he break the record. Eat sh*t ESPN forecasters.
