Roberts Reaches 500 Mark Tuesday, June 12th , 2046 A big sigh of relief erupted from Ryan Roberts after he hit his 500th career homer. The Nashville designated hitter said, "I'm glad it's over...now I can go back to just playing baseball." It was quite a day for Roberts. He got his name in the league record books with 3 hits, 4 runs batted in, scored 2 runs and his team, the Nashville G-Strings beat the New York Knights 10-0. Roberts knew it when he hit it. He raised his hands in the air, then ran the bases like a high school player, clapping and grinning. He told reporters in the postgame interview, "I was acting goofy running the bases... but it was my 500th home run." "It was great," his manager said. "He stood there and watched it...we all did. You just felt it was coming...you just had a sense he would hit it soon. He has been having a lot of good at-bats. It was great to get it out of the way." During his career Roberts has notched 2361 hits and a .308 average with 500 home runs and 1519 RBIs. View Boxscore View Game Log Watch Highlights |
