| Tuesday, May 20th, 2008: Homer #400 for Toronto's Giambi
"I wasn't trying to hit a homer. I just wanted to make contact."
That's what Jason Giambi told reporters after he made baseball history today at Rogers Centre. The prolific slugger belted home run #400 in the Toronto Blue Jays 8-7 victory over the Minnesota Twins.
The standout first baseman collected 1 hit in 4 at-bats with 3 runs batted in and 1 run scored.
"I guess this puts me in baseball's elite," said Giambi. "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?"
In his career Giambi is batting .290 with 1797 hits, 400 home runs, 1125 runs scored and 1243 RBIs. |
