Gant Reaches 400 Mark
Toronto's outstanding left fielder Ron Gant joined the 400 home run club today at Tiger Stadium with a booming blast in the Blue Jays win over the Tigers. They topped Detroit 9-4.

On his milestone day Gant had 2 hits in 4 at-bats with 3 RBI and 2 runs scored.

Tongue-in-cheek he told the press, "Don't tell me when I get close to the next milestone. Just tell me after I reach it. It will be easier to hit that way."

Gant is batting .252 with 1469 career base hits, including 196 doubles, 40 triples and 401 home runs with 1018 RBIs and 1004 runs scored. He has played in 1521 games, stolen 326 bases and compiled a .335 OBP.
