Campbell Rips HR Number 300 Friday, April 24th , 1981 300 home runs is a lot of home runs to hit. It's a number that very few players reach. Today Jeremy Campbell became a member of that exclusive club. He belted it at Rocketeers Field against the Rocketeers. But sometimes milestone homers don't win the game. The powerful Portland center fielder got all the headlines, but Denver came away with the victory. They beat the Lumberjacks 2-1. During the postgame interview he told the press, "It's a big relief to get it over. I tried not to think about it, but it's kind of hard when you have a huge sign on the scoreboard staring at you every time you step up to the plate. The home run was nice, but I would have preferred to win the game." His batting totals for the game showed 1 hit in 4 at-bats, 1 home run and 1 RBI. The hardworking and dedicated Campbell also said, "I'll celebrate a little with my family tonight but not too much. This is not the last home run I will hit. I think I have a lot of baseball left in me and have other goals. I'll get back to work tomorrow." In 972 games Campbell has a career .238 batting average and a .299 on-base percentage. He has hit 300 home runs with 772 RBIs and 560 runs scored. View Boxscore View Game Log Watch Highlights |
