Tuesday, September 3rd, 2120: García Makes 500 HR Mark
Yankees left fielder Frank García reached a career milestone yesterday, blasting home run number 500.

He took the achievement in stride. "It's always good to get another home run and even better to get another win," García told reporters in the postgame interview.

He went 1-3 during the New York 21-3 triumph over the Toronto Blue Jays and scored 2 runs with 1 RBI.

García's all-time stats include: 2698 hits, 470 doubles, 35 triples, 500 home runs and 1600 RBIs in 2301 games. He is batting .325 with 15 stolen bases and has scored 1526 runs.


Tuesday, September 3rd, 2120: Keller Has Hot Hand, Bangs 5 hits
It doesn't happen very often, but it happened for Mike Keller -- a 5-hit day. He went on a rampage at Yankee Stadium and paced the Yankees to a 21-3 win over the Toronto Blue Jays.

After his dynamite batting performance the New York center fielder told the press, "I just tried to get myself in a good count and have a good at-bat. That's all I can control." His philosophy paid some great dividends today. He slammed 5 hits in 5 tries and put his name in the record book.

M. Keller doubled in the 1st, doubled in the 3rd, singled in the 4th, singled in the 5th and hit a two-run home run off H. Tang in the 6th.

For the year Keller is batting .299 with 155 hits and 4 home runs. He has scored 107 times and driven in 41.
