Joey Gallo, like Little League sensation “Big Al” Delia, hits dingers.
Gallo connected for No. 40 on Tuesday, when he became one of only four Texas Rangers players with consecutive 40-homer seasons. He also joined elite MLB company with multiple 40-homer seasons at age 24 or younger.
Anyone ever hear of Willie Mays or Ken Griffey Jr.? Those are two of the great Gallo’s name is now alongside.
Hitting dingers is Gallo’s job, in addition to playing all three outfield spots and first base. He would play third base, the position he played in the minors, if asked.
