PVBL: Spokane Pirates
Offensive Displays Common for Pirates

May 22, 1998

The Spokane fans were treated to an offensive display that is almost becoming commonplace.

Mike Mathney Jeff Ness and Mark Mcgwire homered in todays Double Header vs. Larimer. Ray Sanchez homered twice Brady Anderson, three times. And little Brett Boone hit Four Home Runs!

Thats a total of 12 home runs in just two games The Pirates are leading the league with a total of 80 dongs in just 38 games. For those of you who are mathematically challenged, that is more than two home runs per game We caught up with Brett Boone, and he let us in on his little secret.

"Well, the team is doing a benefit this year, where the Pirates are going to donate $1,000 dollars to Big Brothers and Sisters of America for every homer we hit this year. We decided to make this year really hurt Jeremey Stephens' wallet. So far its 80 grand. It is going to get much larger! It is kinda' contagious. You see Mac and Brady go out there and do it all the time, and you kind of figure I can do that!"

And he can!
