With Josh Beckett getting blasted for a grand slam by 23-year-old Shin Soo Choo last night, questions were raised about whether or not he's close to setting an MLB record for HRs allowed in a season. That blast was the 31st he's allowed this year. Beckett's got a ways to go before he tops Bert Blyleven's astonishingly bad season in 1986. Blyleven allowed 50! HRs while going 17-14 for the Twins that year. The bad news for Bert gets worse - he's also No. 3 on the list with 46 allowed the following season. Here's the top (bottom?) 10:
