Walker Wallops #300
The crowd roared -- they knew they were seeing history -- and Larry Walker was delighted, too. The 29-year-old Twins right fielder was making history with his 300th career homer. The crowd buzzed and roared again when Walker stuck his head out of the dugout for a curtain call.

"Never, as a kid, did I ever think I'd hit even one," he told BNN after hitting No. 300 in a 9-4 victory over Chicago. Walker went 2-for-4 in the game, had 1 RBI, and scored 2 runs.

A check of his lifetime stats shows Walker has played in 1251 games with a .260 batting average. Among his 1246 hits are 300 home runs. He also has scored 774 runs and driven in 848 runs.
