Passing a Milestone
Rick Ankiel hit well tonight, going 3 for 3 with a home run as the Cardinals shut out the Pirates 6-0. The centerfielder drove in half the St. Louis runs, two of them coming on the long ball. The home run set a milestone for Ankiel as well. He's now hit more home runs (33) than he allowed as a pitcher (32).

yeah! Cardinals are my favorites
On baseball Tonight, they said that Ankiel and Babe Ruth are the only players in history to have pitched at least 51 innings and also at some point in their career hit 20 HR's in a single season. Not a big deal, but I found it interesting.
