1 Can't be. Henry Aaron has more than Chipper, Killebrew more than Hrbek.

Franchise in the sense that it is just leaders in the current cities. Hence Jose Guillen for the Nationals.

So I take it there were no rainouts during the interleague play phase requiring makeup games later in the season?

Thankfully no. The Red Sox and Braves had to play a doubleheader.

FAQs

At least I think they should be.

Cycle alerts

Yellow alert - Player needs triple for cycle
Orange alert - Player needs double for cycle
Red alert - Player need single for cycle

If a player needs a home run for the cycle, the level of the alert varies depending upon the determination of the Cycle Detection Warning System, which is headquartered in Thief River Falls, Minnesota.
