Juteau Gets #400
There was a big sigh of relief by Dave Juteau after he hit his 400th career homer. The Tokyo first baseman told BNN, "Whew. I'm glad it's over... now I can go back to just playing baseball."
It was quite a day for Juteau. He got his name in the league record books, 1 hit, 1 run batted in, scored 1 run and his team, the Tokyo Cyclones beat the Apex Assassins 7-2.
Juteau knew it when he hit it. He raised his hands in the air, then ran the bases like a high school player clapping and grinning.
He told reporters in the post-game interview, "I was acting goofy running the bases... but it was my 400th home run."
"It was great," his manager said. "He stood there and watched it... we all did. You just felt it was coming... you just had a sense he would hit it soon... he has been having a lot of good at-bats. It was great to get it out of the way."
During his career Juteau has hit .308 with 2290 hits, 400 home runs, 1380 RBIs and scored 1261 runs.
