Young Pounds HR #300 Wednesday, July 23rd, 2031 300 home runs is a lot of home runs to hit. It's a number that very few players reach. Today Joe Young became a member of that exclusive club. He belted it at Sick's Stadium against the Republic. But sometimes milestone homers don't win the game. The powerful Seattle right fielder got all the headlines, but So Cal came away with the victory. They beat the Sasquatch 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 2 hits in 4 at-bats, 1 home run and 1 RBI. The hardworking and dedicated Young 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 Young has hit for a .332 average and totaled 1482 hits, 300 home runs and 950 RBIs.
