Belle Pounds HR #300
"I wasn't trying to hit a homer. I just wanted to make contact."

That's what Albert Belle told reporters after he made baseball history today at RFK Stadium. The prolific slugger belted home run #300 in the Washington Senators 6-1 victory over the Toronto Blue Jays.

The standout left fielder collected 1 hit in 4 at-bats with 2 runs batted in and 1 run scored.

"I guess this puts me in baseball's elite," said Belle. "I don't feel any different. I probably should, but I don't. Still, it is a nice achievement. I did get a little excited, didn't I?"

In his career Belle has played in 1226 games, totaling 1173 hits, 190 doubles, 34 triples and 300 homers. He has hit .248 with 846 RBIs and scored 675 times.
