Mathis Rips HR Number 400
Monday, September 19th, 2135: Christian Mathis circled the bases and raised his arm in triumph. He had finally hit his 400th 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.

Mathis spoke with BNN and said, "I knew number 400 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 Hartford Harpooners 9-1 win over the Toronto Marlboros. Mathis went 2 for 3 in the game, scored 2 runs, and batted in 3.

Lifetime Mathis is hitting .296 with 1929 hits, 400 home runs, 1081 runs scored and 1200 RBIs.
