Charneca Tags Number 300

Tuesday, September 8th , 2048
Did you catch a home run yesterday? One lucky fan has a prize possession after Maximo Charneca crushed his 300 home run tonight.

Charneca offered the lucky fan some souvenirs and a small cash prize in exchange for the ball. The fan who caught the ball has been identified, but has not yet commented on his intentions.

“That’s one you would kind of like to keep,” Charneca said.

The Miners first baseman went 1 for 3 with 1 home run and 1 run batted in as the Moria Miners won 7-1 over the Carrock Bears.

The Miners will be hosting a Maximo Charneca commemorative poster promotion for an upcoming homestand.

For his career, Charneca is hitting .268 with 300 homers, 873 RBIs and 1483 hits.
