King Pounds HR #500 Sunday, September 8th , 1974 He has done it! Ralph King has reached the 500 home run mark. He did it today, but the Boston Terriers still dropped the game to the Detroit Wolverines by the score of 4-3. "Number 500 was hard to come by. I think the pressure was getting to me a little bit. I got a call a few days ago from a couple of guys that have been through this and they just said, 'Keep going, have some fun. Just be you.' I think that helped me a little bit, having those guys make a call to me and try to settle some of the nerves down." On his historic day King was 3-for-4 with 2 RBI and 2 runs scored. In his career, King has hit .306 with 3244 hits, 500 home runs, 1778 RBIs and scored 1679 runs. View Boxscore View Game Log Watch Highlights |
