What makes it Palmiero's accomplishment even more amazing is that he is one of only four men to have 3,000 career hits and 500 career home runs. The other three? Just a few no-names - Eddie Murray, Willie Mays, and Hank Aaron.
As to the conversation, cherish every word you get at that age - particularly if your son is like Jeremy!

Thanks for clarifying about Palmiero. I knew it was a big deal, just not which big deal it was.
About the conversation, he's pretty quiet, although he does open up to me once in a while -- as long as the subject isn't too close to the heart, or isn't likely to land him in hot water.
