MLB Note - Kansas City Royals Gordon, Alex

Sep 20, 2017 - 9:12 AM LF Alex Gordon hit the eighth homer of the season in the eighth inning Tuesday night in the 5-2 loss to the Toronto Blue Jays. It was No. 5,694 hit in the majors this season, surpassing the record set in 2000. "A pretty cool thing to be a part of," Gordon said "I didn't hit many this year but I guess I made one count. It's good to be in the Hall of Fame, I guess. ... You've got to give credit to the players all around, just having good approaches and putting good swings on mistakes. It's been a credit to everybody around baseball. I'm going to give (the ball) to Cooperstown. I figured they'd probably have much more reason to have it than I do."
