Saturday, May 13th, 2023
Toronto first baseman Ryan Tellez blasted himself into an elite group of baseball players. Today he joined the exclusive 300 home run club in the Blue Jays 6-3 loss to the Oakland Athletics.
"As soon as I hit it, I knew it was gone. I was happy to move on. Now I can go and have some fun. It is a weight lifted off my shoulders," Tellez told the press. He admitted just how much pressure he had been feeling. "Especially every time you'd get out of the hotel, everybody would say, 'Hey, when are you going to hit it?'"
In his milestone game, Tellez went 2 for 4 with 1 RBI and 2 runs scored.
For his career Tellez has hit at a .296 clip. Among his lifetime numbers are 1140 hits, 168 doubles, 14 triples, 300 home runs and 746 RBIs.
