Home Run of the Day – 4/03 – Joe Crede
Posted by: Nick the Greek in 2008 MLB, Home Run of the Day, Indians, White Sox
Cleveland - Welcome back, Joe Crede.
Your reward is a Home Run of the Day, nod.
It has been a long road back for Joe since last season’s back surgery limited him to 47 games and a mere four Home Runs in 2007.
The first three games of this season were looking like a slow start for Joe as he entered the 8th inning yesterday at 2 for 11 for the season.
With the score tied 1-1 and the White Sox trying to salvage the last game of the season opening series against the Tribe, Crede spanked a 2-0 pitch from Jake Westbrook on to the concourse in left field.
It was the second Home Run of the game for the White Sox (Juan Uribe hit a long one to left earlier) and was ultimately the game winning hit.

Nick – I see you beat Richie Rich to the punch. I was expecting Rich to claim Aramis to be the HR of the day, being his first hit of the season.

Actually in defense of Richie, we talked about it before hand and of his three candidates, none were named Aramis Rameriz (nor were any of them from the National League) and Joe Crede was on his list.
We get along pretty well here at HRD, right?
