Don't You Know Rockin' Robbie Cano!

The sun was out, the bats were hot, and Alex Rodriguez was continuing his quest for 600 home runs. While the Bronx was on pins and needles waiting for glory, Robinson Cano was attending another day at work. 2 hits away from hitting his 1000th career hit, Robinson did what has become second nature to him, hit. After collecting his first hit of the day and leaving him 1 hit away from 1,000, the sky opened up and mother nature had other plans. As rain poured down, the tarp was on the field and for 2 hours, we fans had to wait for two milestones to take place. The anxiety began to build.

After the storm subsided, we were back to baseball and back to Alex Rodriguez again. In the 8th, with 2 on and 1 out, Alex Rodriguez was at the plate and boy could you cut the tension with a knife. For anyone who doesn't know the back story between Kansas and Alex, try going back to August 4, 2007, which happened to be my birthday, where Alex hit his 500th career homer off of Kyle Davies. All caught up now? Well, Davies wasn't pitching but Kansas couldn't afford for Alex to celebrate again so Alex was hit by a pitch and taken out of the game.

Things always seem to work out because Robbie came to plate and smacked a 2 run double and gave the Yankees a 12-5 lead. Robinson has now joined baseball elites as he garnered his 1000th career hit. The Yankees would go on to win the game 12-6.

Don't you know Rockin' Robbie Cano? If you don't you better start watching games because this kid is a star and well on his way to Yankee/baseball immortality.

Congratulations Robinson.

XOXO,
Whitney
