Saturday, April 16th, 2118: García Pounds HR #500
New York's outstanding right fielder Wilson "Ice Cream" García joined the 500 home run club today at Circuit City Stadium with a booming blast in the Yankees win over the Wings. They topped Buffalo 9-6.
On his milestone day García had 2 hits in 3 at-bats with 3 RBI and 3 runs scored.
Tongue-in-cheek he told the press, "Don't tell me when I get close to the next milestone. Just tell me after I reach it. It will be easier to hit that way."
His all-time numbers show García is carrying a .314 career batting average with 501 home runs and 1444 RBIs.
