Austin Gets #300
The crowd roared -- they knew they were seeing history -- and Tom Austin was delighted, too. The 35-year-old Bluebirds first baseman was making history with his 300th career homer. The crowd buzzed and roared again when Austin stuck his head out of the dugout for a curtain call.

"Never, as a kid, did I ever think I'd hit even one," he told BNN after hitting No. 300 in a 7-2 victory over St. Louis. Austin went 3-for-4 in the game, had 2 runs batted in, and scored 3 runs.

In his career, Austin has hit .261 with 1460 hits, 264 doubles, 25 triples and 301 home runs. His totals also include 881 RBIs and 815 runs scored.
