North Carolina's Rodríguez Hammers #400
400 home runs is a lot of home runs to hit. It's a number that very few players reach. Today <Flash Rodríguez:player#7210> became a member of that exclusive club. He belted it at Lowe's Field at Bojangles' Stadium against the Athletics. But sometimes milestone homers don't win the game. The powerful <North Carolina:team#8> catcher got all the headlines, but <New Jersey:team#80> came away with the victory. They beat the Aviators 10-8.

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 run batted in.

The hardworking and dedicated Rodríguez 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."

Lifetime in 2117 games <Rodríguez:player#7210> is batting .326 with 400 home runs and 1457 RBIs.
