Number 600.
Right center field.
Smoked.
Against the Chicago Cubs. Off Jason Marquis, a pitcher who wears the Cubs #21 that Sammy made famous.
Nice moment for Victor and for Josh, and for Sammy.
And for Akinori Otsuka, who Tom Housed the shot.
And, a bit to my surprise, for myself.
I kinda enjoyed that, and the follow-up blast by Frank Catalanotto, which counts just as much as Sammy's in the scorebook and, hopefully, will be more than enough for Kameron Loe, who is dealing for a second straight time out and putting another deposit in the bank as he moves towards solidifying the job he's filling right now.
This season was supposed be about a lot more than Sammy Sosa hitting a landmark home run or Kameron Loe vying to lock down a rotation spot in June, but for the moment, it feels really good.
