Aロッド、グリフィーのバットを借りて…3ランホームラン
September 1st, 1996. It was Alex Rodriguez first full season in the big leagues. He came up to bat, but the home plate umpire confiscated his bat at the request of Davy Johnson, manager of the Orioles. That’s when Ken Griffy Jr., with his iconic smile, hands over his bat to the rookie. Alex Rodriguez takes Griffy’s bat and steps back into the box against David Wells. With a two- two count, he hits the ball deep to center field, launching a three-run home run that decides the game and leaves the Orioles manager looking foolish.
September 1, 1996 — Alex Rodriguez had his bat confiscated after a challenge by Orioles manager Davey Johnson. So he grabbed Ken Griffey Jr.’s bat… and crushed a three-run homer in his first full MLB season.
