Flores Pounds HR #300 Sunday, May 16th , 2032 A big sigh of relief erupted from Jorge Flores after he hit his 300th career homer. The Toronto right fielder said, "I'm glad it's over...now I can go back to just playing baseball." It was quite a day for Flores. He got his name in the league record books with 5 hits, 8 RBI, scored 4 runs and his team, the Toronto Red Birds beat the Napoleon Dynamites 17-9. Flores knew it when he hit it. He raised his hands in the air, then ran the bases like a high school player, clapping and grinning. He told reporters in the postgame interview, "I was acting goofy running the bases... but it was my 300th home run." "It was great," his manager said. "He stood there and watched it...we all did. You just felt it was coming...you just had a sense he would hit it soon. He has been having a lot of good at-bats. It was great to get it out of the way." In his all-time stats Flores is hitting .291 with 1603 hits, 300 home runs, 928 runs scored and 1045 RBIs. View Boxscore View Game Log Watch Highlights |
