That's what Bill Cortina told reporters after he made baseball history today at Destruction Yard. The prolific slugger belted home run #300 in the Kentucky Juggernaut 8-2 victory over the Green Bay EZ Riders.
The standout third baseman collected 2 hits in 4 at-bats with 3 runs batted in and 1 run scored.
"I guess this puts me in baseball's elite," said Cortina. "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?"
Cortina is hitting .289 lifetime with 2166 hits, 277 doubles, 14 triples, 300 home runs and 1288 RBIs to date. He has scored 1270 runs and stolen 77 bases. |  | Tuesday, July 23rd, 2030: Rodriguez Whips Nukes for #200 His goal at twenty was to win twenty games one year, pitch until he was thirty, win the league pennant and to make some money. Well, Felix Rodriguez did something even better -- the 36-year-old Green Bay EZ Riders star has now won 200 games in his career. That put him in a very select group of pitchers in the .
He joined that exclusive club today at The Yard by whipping the Los Alamos Nukes 1-0, holding them to 5 hits in 7 innings while chalking up 3 strikeouts and 1 walk.
In the postgame interview, the modest Rodriguez said, "It's special to win 200 games. You don't do it by yourself. You do it with good stuff and a good bullpen. You are only as good as the guys behind you. Years from now I might look back on it and give myself a little pat on the back."
So far in Rodriguez's career, the 36-year-old starter has won 200 and lost 116, collecting 2024 strikeouts with a 2.89 ERA. Opponents have hit .690 against him. | | | Injuries | | Player | Injury | Out for... | Disabled List Status | | CF Howard Walley | torn ankle ligaments | 3 months | On DL, eligible for return (60-day DL) | | | Team Information | | Record overall | 65-97, .401 PCT | | Position in Division | 5th, 39.0 GB | | Record at home | 42-39, .519 PCT | | Record on the road | 23-58, .284 PCT | | Record in X-inning games | 5-5, .500 PCT | | Record in one-run games | 24-21, .533 PCT | | Record versus LHP | 14-28, .333 PCT | | Record versus RHP | 51-69, .425 PCT | | Record last 10 games | 3-7, .300 PCT | | Record in April | 8-19, .296 PCT | | Record in May | 13-15, .464 PCT | | Record in June | 11-17, .393 PCT | | Record in July | 12-12, .500 PCT | | Record in August | 10-18, .357 PCT | | Record in September | 11-16, .407 PCT |
