Hamilton Slugs 300th Home Run
Saturday, May 23rd, 2054: Donald Hamilton circled the bases and raised his arm in triumph. He had finally hit his 300th home run. It was a homer for a lot of people: himself; his teammates past and present; his former managers and coaches; and especially his family, who sat near the plate cheering his every at-bat during the past few games.
Hamilton spoke with BNN and said, "I knew number 300 would come sooner or later. I had to keep reminding myself, 'Relax, relax, just let it happen, let it happen.' And it finally did."
His milestone homer came in the London Bishops 12-8 win over the Oshawa Mullets. Hamilton went 3 for 4 in the game, scored 3 runs, and batted in 1.
In his career Hamilton has hit for a .301 average and totaled 2752 hits, 300 home runs and 1335 RBIs.
