Sanders Hits Number 300

A big congrats to Reggie Sanders for hitting career home run number 300 this afternoon. And in so doing, he became the fifth player in the history of major league baseball to hit 300 home runs and steal 300 bases. I'm sure he would have preferred hit his milestone home run (which came off Chad Harville in the bottom of the ninth inning) in a Royals victory, but unfortunately the Devil Rays won the game 9-5.

I interviewed Reggie a couple of days ago and during the interview I asked him what it would mean to him when it did happen. Here's his response:

"It will be exciting once it happens. It really just for me—just the battle of the good, the bad, through so many years, having the ability to withstand through it all and continuing to withstand—that really is a testament to my faith and what I believe and what I stand on."

Congrats Reggie!
