What was once incredibly commonplace has become a notable milestone.

I feel like it's often lost on people that these two dudes literally did it all again in 1999
Only twice in MLB history has a batter hit a total of 63+ home runs in one stadium in back-to-back regular seasons.
In 1998 & 1999:
Mark McGwire hit 75 at Busch Stadium.
Sammy Sosa hit 68 at Wrigley Field.
