Benitez Joins Kings of Clout with #500: San Diego's outstanding first baseman Chris Benitez joined the 500 home run club today at Las Vegas Ballpark with a booming blast in the Padres win over the Hustle. They topped Las Vegas 13-1.
On his milestone day Benitez had 2 hits in 4 at-bats with 4 runs batted in and 2 runs scored.
Tongue-in-cheek he told the press, "Don't tell me when I get close to the next milestone. Just tell me after I reach it. It will be easier to hit that way."
Benitez boasts a lifetime batting average of .292 with 2166 hits, 500 homers, 1272 runs scored and 1426 RBIs.
