Starlin Castro Hits Home Run In First At Bat and Drives in Record Six RBI
Starlin Castro doesn’t know how to be a Cub yet
Starlin Castro Home Run in First At Bat and 6 RBI Game
On May 7, 2010 the much heralded prospect Starlin Castro was called up to join the Chicago Cubs. He was immediately penciled into the starting lineup at shortstop as the Cubs didn’t intend on calling up their top prospect and just sit him on the bench.
Castro would start that night in Cincinnati and be a defensive upgrade and maybe add some life to a Cubs team that had just been embarrassingly swept. How would the much heralded prospect who was hitting .376 in the minors look against major league pitching?
He would look like every Cubs fans dream. He looked like he might even be good enough to save Jim Hendry’s job.
Starlin Castro hit a 3 run home run in his first major league at bat in the second inning against Cincinnati pitcher Homer Bailey. WOW!!!
But Starlin Castro wasn’t done yet. He has a LOT of hype to live up to after all. So in his second at bat Castro hit a bases loaded triple to drive in three more runs and set a new major league record 6 RBI in his rookie debut.
WOW! WELCOME TO THE BIG LEAGUES!!!
“He’s a talented young kid, and today was an exceptional, exceptional day. The kid — what a debut. He’s got to be ecstatic, and he should be.”- Lou Pinella
Starlin Castro has become a part of major league history and Chicago Cubs history and folklore. Years from now, you can say you were there. (I already am)
Congratulations Starlin Castro!
GO CUBS!
