Of round numbers

For some reason that I can't understand, people get a kick out of noting when things happen for 100th, 200th, 300th time or any other number that ends with multiple zeroes. I'll follow suit with a couple of milestones from Washington's win Thursday night over Rockford.

First, the win was the 500th in Wild Things history. They are 500-393 (.556) since joining the Frontier League in 2002. Washington has the best winning percentage of any FL franchise that has played 893 games.

The FL's all-time wins list:
1. Chillicothe, 688
2. Evansville, 677
3. River City, 581
4. Cook County/Windy City, 575
5. Washington, 500
6. Gateway, 499
7. Richmond, 483

Another round-number note: When Washington's Chris Sidick homered in the first inning Thursday night, it was the 700th home run in Wild Things history. Washington is 9th on the FL's all-time HR list by franchise.
