300 Homers for Grubbs Thursday, August 26th , 2049 300 home runs is a lot of home runs to hit. It's a number that very few players reach. Today Billy Grubbs became a member of that exclusive club. He belted it at Baseball City Complex against the Orioles. But sometimes milestone homers don't win the game. The powerful Great Falls second baseman got all the headlines, but Baltimore (APP) came away with the victory. They beat the Voyagers 11-10. During the postgame interview he told the press, "It's a big relief to get it over. I tried not to think about it, but it's kind of hard when you have a huge sign on the scoreboard staring at you every time you step up to the plate. The home run was nice, but I would have preferred to win the game." His batting totals for the game showed 1 hit in 4 at-bats, 1 home run and 4 RBI. The hardworking and dedicated Grubbs also said, "I'll celebrate a little with my family tonight but not too much. This is not the last home run I will hit. I think I have a lot of baseball left in me and have other goals. I'll get back to work tomorrow." In 715 career games, Grubbs has put up a .276 average, collected 123 doubles, 26 triples, and 300 home runs, driven in 814 runs, and scored 738 times. |
