300 Home Runs for Bautista
300 home runs is a lot of home runs to hit. It's a number that very few players reach. Today Jose Bautista became a member of that exclusive club. He belted it at Fenway Park against the Athletics. But sometimes milestone homers don't win the game. The powerful Boston first baseman got all the headlines, but Oakland came away with the victory. They beat the Red Sox 5-2.

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 2 at-bats, 1 home run and 1 RBI.

The hardworking and dedicated Bautista 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 his career, Bautista has played in 1582 games, totaling 1205 hits, 207 doubles, 13 triples and 300 homers. He has hit .227 with 862 RBIs and scored 789 times.
