So which do you think is a bigger deal? A 3rd baseman doing it or someone doing it in 12 years?
How about doing it in 12 years while playing over a third of your games at 3B? I'll take that option :)

Not sure how many guys have hit 400 HRs in their first 12 seasons. Can't be too long a list. Mantle, Pujols, A-Rod, those guys are on the list, among others. Especially impressive for A-Rod (even with the roids) since 2 of those 12 seasons he barely played.

A-Rod will probably be part of the 400 3B HR club by the end of his career. From '95-'03, he hit 345 home runs. From 2004, his first year at third, he's hit 318.

Cabrera is a month ahead of Hank Aaron (in terms of age when hitting their 400th HR)

 

Of course there is no way Cabrera's body holds on that long
