Fans are still buzzing after Kansas City whipped the St. Louis Cardinals by the score of 10-3 at Kauffman Stadium.

Bob Crimi smashed three home runs in the contest, a feat that would be a career highlight for most players and few fans ever see. In a tremendous performance, the first baseman bashed out 3 hits in 4 at-bats, had 5 RBIs and scored 3 times.

At the postgame press conference, Crimi said it was an "unbelievable" feeling to hit three home runs in a game.

"Getting one homer is special, and two is great," Crimi said. "Three is just... wow."

Bob Crimi struck out in the 1st, hit a two-run home run off Amari Ravenell in the 4th, hit a two-run home run off Chris Casteen in the 5th and hit a solo-shot off Andy Squires in the 7th.

This season, Crimi is batting .262 with 44 hits, 14 home runs, 31 RBIs, .332 OBP and has scored 28 runs.

What's in a number? In baseball, just about everything.

The numbers that Kansas City's Mike Connelly put up last week were the envy of the league, as Connelly came away with American League Player of the Week honors.

He belted out 10 hits in 20 at-bats, 3 home runs and 10 RBIs last week as he posted his .500 batting average.

To date, Connelly has collected 121 hits for a .292 average. He has posted 21 home runs, scored 85 runs and driven in 64 runs.
