Reimold closing in on history
Posted by admin on Jun 27 2009 | Tagged as: Baseball, History
Saturday night, Nolan Reimold hit his ninth home run of the season, a 3-run shot in Baltimore’s 6-3 win over Washington. The 9 homers pulls him within two of Andy Tracy’s record for home runs by a BG alum in a major league season and within four of Tracy’s career mark.
What’s more, his 20 RBI on the season put him just 12 shy of Tracy’s single season mark for a Falcon in the majors!
What started as a fast track to the bigs as an injury replacement has turned into a possible Rookie of the Year run, as Reimold is now hitting .293 in 39 games since his mid-May call-up. He has also smacked five doubles in his brief stint with the Orioles.
Trivia Time!
Who was the first BG Falcon to homer in a major league game?
