Back-To-Back Badassery

Chicago White Sox stars Jermaine Dye and Paul Konerko, both just one longball away from their 300th career home runs, did the unbelievable Monday evening against their division rival Detroit Tigers.

They hit their milestone homers, back-to-back.

Dye hit a 2-1 pitch from right-hander Zach Miner over the left-center wall to lead off the second inning before Konerko went deep on a full-count toss to make it 2-0.

According to the Elias Sports Bureau, these two became the first teammates in history to hit the #300 milestone in the same game, not to mention one right after the other. Our congratulations go out to both power-hitters! Now let's see how long Gary Sheffield's ugly mug takes up the space in the top-left corner of BLB.
