Number 400 for Caminiti Tuesday, May 5th, 1998 400 home runs is a lot of home runs to hit. It's a number that very few players reach. Today Ken Caminiti became a member of that exclusive club. He belted it at RFK Stadium against the Athletics. But sometimes milestone homers don't win the game. The powerful Washington first baseman got all the headlines, but Oakland came away with the victory. They beat the Senators 4-2. 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 2 RBI. The hardworking and dedicated Caminiti 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." For his career Caminiti has hit at a .276 clip. Among his lifetime numbers are 1767 hits, 309 doubles, 13 triples, 400 home runs and 1233 RBIs. View Boxscore View Game Log |
