Tanaka Rips HR Number 500
500 home runs is a lot of home runs to hit. It's a number that very few players reach. Today Sadao Tanaka became a member of that exclusive club. He belted it at Albertson's Field against the Danger. But sometimes milestone homers don't win the game. The powerful Idaho first baseman got all the headlines, but New Mexico came away with the victory. They beat the Steelheads 7-5.

During the postgame interview he told the press, "It's a big relief to get it over. I tried not to think about it, but it's kind of hard when you have a huge sign on the scoreboard staring at you every time you step up to the plate. The home run was nice, but I would have preferred to win the game."

His batting totals for the game showed 1 hit in 4 at-bats, 1 home run and 3 RBI.

The hardworking and dedicated Tanaka also said, "I'll celebrate a little with my family tonight but not too much. This is not the last home run I will hit. I think I have a lot of baseball left in me and have other goals. I'll get back to work tomorrow."

His numbers show Tanaka is carrying a .278 lifetime batting average with 500 home runs and 1562 RBIs.
