While watching TBS coverage of the Braves game earlier, they broke in for each of Rafael Palmeiro’s at bats, as he started the game with 499 career homers. He didn’t disappoint, hitting his 500th in his fifth at bat of the game, becoming just the 19th player in Major League history to reach that milestone.
Poliblogger, an actual Rangers fan, offers his congrats and John Lemon weighs in on the high score of the game.
Sadly, however, I am more likely to think “Viagra” than “500 homers” when Palmeiro’s name comes up. Um, is mentioned. I hope he’s being well compensated for this association.
