Kato Booms 300th Homer
"I wasn't trying to hit a homer. I just wanted to make contact."

That's what Junzo Kato told reporters after he made baseball history today at Nationals Park. The prolific slugger belted home run #300 in the Washington Nationals 4-1 victory over the Chicago Cubs.

The standout third baseman collected 2 hits in 4 at-bats with 2 RBI and 1 run scored.

"I guess this puts me in baseball's elite," said Kato. "I don't feel any different. I probably should, but I don't. Still, it is a nice achievement. I did get a little excited, didn't I?"

Lifetime Kato has played in 1510 games with a .302 batting average. Among his 1705 hits are 235 doubles, 47 triples and 300 home runs. He also has scored 1008 runs and driven in 1016 runs.
