Monday, July 26th, 2049: #300 for Cannon
There was a big sigh of relief by Joe Cannon after he hit his 300th career homer. The Apex center fielder told BNN, "Whew. I'm glad it's over... now I can go back to just playing baseball."

It was quite a day for Cannon. He got his name in the league record books, 1 hit, 3 RBI, scored 1 run and his team, the Apex Assassins beat the Edmonton Edge 6-5.

Cannon 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 300th 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."

Cannon is hitting .283 lifetime with 1684 hits, 384 doubles, 78 triples, 300 home runs and 1104 RBIs to date. He has scored 1049 runs and stolen 405 bases.
