Ichiro, Pujols, Trout, Judge, Kurtz and the rookies who’ve won Silver Sluggers in the last 25 years!

Ichiro 0 for three in his Mariner and Major League debut. Ground ball up the middle into center field. A base hit. Ichiro with his first hit in the major leagues. A ground ball back up the middle to get things going here in the bottom half of inning number seven. And that’s going to be a very special souvenir. Goodbye. Hit ball deep to right field. Goodbye baseball. Zanara baseball. Ichiro with his first Major League home run here at the ballpark in Arlington. Number one for Ichiro and it gives the Mariners a 9-7 lead here in the top of the 10th inning. One strike pit swung on. Ground ball base set up the middle. So one’s going to score, two’s going to score. Digging his way to third base is Bell. The Mariners lead it three to nothing. Drives in a couple. So Ichro having an outstanding day. Three for three. So Ichiro with his 48th multi-hit game. A one two. Well hit into left field. Did he get enough at the wall? Welcome to St. Louis. Albert Koh. Two nothing Cardinals. Now Joe, you ask me how he’s going to start his his career in St. Louis. You’d say, well, if it’s a story book, he hit a home run, but you don’t want to put that much pressure on him. You think I like him around here? No, I I’m not sure. It probably take a week or two to get used to him. Booho drives it to center. Hits it well. Heading for the grass. Home run. One- nothing Cardinals. Albert with his 26th of the year. He increases his Cardinal rookie record and St. Louis leads one- nothing. He hits one to left center. He hits it well. Chasing at Hermanson. It is up against the wall and out of here according to the fans in the bleachers. I told you Albert was in scoring position. He’s driven in 128. This puts him one away from tying the National League records for rookie home runs. Trout drives this one out toward deep left center field. Rasmus giving chase. Still going back at the wall. Gone. Big fly from Mike Trout. His first of the year. And the Angels are back on top two to one. You’re talking about that deep part of the ballpark, too, for Mike Trout. Driven in the air to center field and hit well. That ball is up. That ball is deep. And that ball is way gone. You got to be kidding me. Oh my goodness. This guy’s just sick. Oh my goodness. Absolutely sick. To right center field. It would have gone to the hitting backdrop. Had it not been caught by a fan. What a special talent. Swings the first one. Hits one out towards center field. Hamilton going back on it. Still going back at the wall. That is gone. A big fly for Mike Trout. A two out home run draws the Angels within one. That is his 30th home run of the season. 4 to3 Texas. How impressive is this youngster? 30 home runs, 80 RBI, 48 stolen bases. Second home run here in this series. Both to center field. Well, there they go. That is high into left field. Stretch. Stretch. Get on back there. Get on back there. It will. It is a three-run homer. You can put it on the board. Yes. Yes. What an at bat right there by Abrau Mercy. His first homer. First of many. What an at bat in this ballpark. Is that ball drilled into right center field? Get up. It will. You can put that on the board. Yes. And Jose hit the daylights out of that. Short porch or not in right center. That was a line drive rocket. That ball hit hard. Get over his head. Way back. He looks up. You can put it on the board. Yes. A grand slam by Jose Breu and the Socks win it 9-6. Our kids just will not quit. Curve ball whacked to right field. No doubt about it. Threeun home run and it is 11 to3 Dodgers and a young left-hander who’s accustomed to getting left-handers out in the miners is treated somewhat rudely by the left-hand batters of the Dodgers. Mr. Cole, Utley, and now Seager. for Seager. He now has 18 home runs, 50 runs batted in. The next pitch to Cory Seager is swung on. Mild highf fly ball to deep right center field. She is gone. Cory Seager hits his 20th home run of the year. And just like that, the Dodgers are on the board leading one to nothing. Well, a promising note for the Dodgers when Seagar hits one out. Yesterday, for the first time since last August, the Dodgers had a home run from each of the three, four, and five spots in the lineup. That one is drilled to right field. There it goes. Ca grand slam. And he’s back in the lead. Well, Michael, he must have been here at you talk. And uh again, this is about getting to a count where he needs to throw a strike by not swinging outside the zone. Two consecutive bats, he hammered the ball to right field and his strength, if he hits it hard enough, it’s going anywhere. Huge grand slam. Aaron Judge. There it goes deep to left. Really deep. Oh my goodness. What a shot by Aaron Judge. That almost hit a retired number. Oh wow. That was unbelievable. It might have cleared the bleachers. 495 ft. You’re seeing things that just don’t happen in baseball very often and it’s just it’s so much fun to see. Julio trying to add on here with two outs and two on in the top of the six. Hammered blast off left field number one. Here it comes. Julio Rodriguez with a mash of a three-run bomb. And the 21-year-old will touch them all for the first time. It comes in Miami. And number one was no cheapy. No, it wasn’t. It was crushed. How about 450 ft in a 110 exit vlog game, the home first with a home run to right center field. There you go. Left field. We got a tie ball game. Julio. Oh, baby. What a moment. Tie ball game at 77. Oh, did he heard that pitch? Home run number 25 for Po Rodriguez. It’s a breaking ball and he just crushes it. 117 mph off the bat. A terrific plate appearance by Matteo and they are loaded up for Gunnar. One and0 the first pitch. Henderson into left center. Kier at the wall and get out of here. Yes, he did. Couldn’t rob this one, Kevin. Grand slam gutter. Oh, what a night. Best team in the American League chasing down home field advantage for the whole AL. And Henderson with a drive in to ride. Ladies and gentlemen, Gutter Henderson. Number 25 for the rookie of the year to be. Well, you knew the kid had to get on the action. And this is a straight up bomb. I mean, a bomb out towards right center field. Now, one of four rookies in Orio history with 25 or more home runs. barrel to left. His first big leap home run. Young guy energy and big results. Padres’s are on the board here in the third. That’s great. Really hard holding back the smiles for the kid. High drive right field towards a Petco porch down the line and gone. Second straight day the Padres’s have walked it off. This time it’s the kid Jackson Merrill. Second home run of the day. Wins it for the Friars 54. High drive deep right field. Merrill Madness walked off and Petco Padres’s win it 3-2. It just keeps getting better for Jackson Merrill. You are unbelievable. Nick Curts hits this one towards left center. And how about a big fly for the first time in the big leagues. Nick Curts has been waiting for the first home run. And it comes in his 17th major league game. Happy home run. And good night. Crush that baseball. Ends in walkoff fashion. 447 from Nick Kurts and the Athletics have beat the Astros 3 to one tonight. Swinging a drive deep to left. He’s done it four times. What a magical night for the Big Amish. Incredible. Simply incredible. First player in athletics history with a four homer game. History has been made tonight.
