Harris Raps 400th Roundtripper
"I wasn't trying to hit a homer. I just wanted to make contact."

That's what Brendan Harris told reporters after he made league history at U.S. Cellular Field. The prolific slugger belted home run #400 in the Detroit Tigers 8-0 victory over the Chicago White Sox.

The standout third baseman collected 4 hits in 5 at-bats with 4 runs batted in and 3 runs scored.

"I guess this puts me in baseball's elite," said Harris. "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?"

Harris is hitting at a .295 rate over his 1599-game career. Lifetime he has 386 doubles, 42 triples and 400 home runs with 1057 RBIs and 1142 runs scored.
