Cobb Makes 300 HR Mark:
"I wasn't trying to hit a homer. I just wanted to make contact."
That's what Ty Cobb told reporters after he made baseball history today at Drake Park. The prolific slugger belted home run #300 in the Cal Poly Mustangs 10-2 victory over the Drake Bulldogs.
The standout left fielder collected 3 hits in 4 at-bats with 3 RBI and 3 runs scored.
"I guess this puts me in baseball's elite," said Cobb. "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?"
In his 829-game career Cobb is batting .381 with 1206 hits, 301 home runs, 714 runs scored and 752 RBIs.
