CINCINNATI (AP) Scooter Gennett’s tan bat leaned against his locker, the sweet spot streaked by its historic connections. The ball from homer No. 4 was off somewhere getting authenticated and marked. His cellphone was jammed with 270 texts of congratulations.
And the diminutive utility player – how was he holding up a day after his totally improbable, historically unforgettable night?
”It’s pretty unreal,” said Gennett, who became the first Cincinnati player to hit four homers in a game. ”Just being a Reds fan all my life, to be able to do this is just unbelievable. It’s sinking in more and more, but it’ll probably really hit home in the offseason, when I have some downtime.
