Firbal the Nasty Pounds HR #300

300 home runs is a lot of home runs to hit. It's a number that very few players reach. Today Firbal the Nasty became a member of that exclusive club. He belted it at Sylvan Cove against the Witch Kings. But sometimes milestone homers don't win the game. The powerful Minas Morgul first baseman got all of the headlines, but Weathertop came away with the victory. They beat the Slayers 4-1.

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 2 hits in 3 at-bats, 1 home run and 1 RBI.

The hardworking and dedicated the Nasty 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 baseball left in me and have other goals. I'll get back to work tomorrow."

During his career the Nasty is batting .298 and has totaled 300 home runs.
