Galarraga Belts Number 300 Thursday, July 3rd, 1997 Andres Galarraga circled the bases and raised his arm in triumph. He had finally hit his 300th home run. It was a homer for a lot of people: himself, his teammates past and present, his former managers and coaches, and especially his family, who sat near the plate cheering his every at-bat during the past few games. Galarraga spoke with BNN and said, "I knew number 300 would come sooner or later. I had to keep reminding myself, 'Relax, relax, just let it happen, let it happen.' And it finally did." His milestone homer came in the San Diego Padres 6-1 win over the Arizona Diamondbacks. Galarraga went 2 for 4 in the game, scored 1 run, and batted in 1. Galarraga's career batting average is .248. In 1446 games, he has gotten 1356 hits, 300 home runs, 902 RBIs and scored 755 runs. View Boxscore View Game Log |
