This Day In Baseball History: August 3, 2012

August 3, 2012



                 It was on this day in 2012, that the Upton brothers, playing on different teams and in different cities, both hit the 100th homerun of their respective careers. Justin Upton, playing for the Arizona Diamondbacks, hit his against the Phillies in Philadelphia’s Citizens Bank Ballpark. A few minutes later, B.J. Upton, playing for the Tampa Bay Rays, goes deep in Tropicana Field against the Baltimore Orioles.

                As a footnote, the brothers both hit career homerun number 99 on the same night as well: July 20th.
