Chicago White Sox first baseman Justin Morneau became the 14th active player to hit a home run against each of MLB‘s 30 franchises, finally crossing his longtime former team (the Minnesota Twins) off the list during Saturday’s 6-5 victory, per ESPN Stats & Info.
Morneau began his career in Minnesota, playing for the Twins from 2003 until mid-2013, with his tenure notably including an MVP award in 2006 and a second-place finish in 2008.
Even after a few years spent traveling around the league, Morneau has still hit 90.9 percent (221 of 243) of his career home runs in a Minnesota uniform.
Between interleague play and his solid 2014 campaign for the Colorado Rockies, the aging slugger managed to cross all the National League teams off his home run list, leaving only his former squad as unfinished business.
That came to an end Saturday night, with Morneau hitting a solo shot off Twins pitcher Tommy Milone in the sixth inning to extend Chicago’s lead to 4-1.
Morneau also had an RBI double earlier in the game, but his strong performance was almost rendered meaningless when the Twins rallied for four runs between the seventh and eighth innings, turning the 4-1 deficit into a 5-4 lead.
However, the White Sox bounced back to tie the game in the ninth inning and then plated the winning run in the 10th.
