Congratulations, Jermaine Dye & Paul Konerko (Update)

Jermaine Dye just took Zach Miner deep to lead off the 2nd inning for a 1-0 White Sox lead, but that home run is special because it is #300 for his underrated, but illustrious career. And speaking of milestones, he is currently 5 RBI shy for 1,000.

Gavin looked good in the 1st. Let's hope he can make this stick.

UPDATE: Paul Konerko just went back-to-back with Dye off Miner, for his 300th career homer, as well. I'm not even going to begin to speculate whether or not two teammates have ever hit their 300th career home runs in the same game, let alone in simulatenous at bats. Regardless, this is certainly something special that we likely won't see again for years, if again in our lifetimes.

Oh, and Paul is currently 40 RBI short of the 1,000 RBI plateau.

And as for the movie poster, well, they will be dining in Detroit tonight, so I figured the quote is still applicable.
