Scooter and the Babe

Reds utility man Scooter Gennett has had himself quite the season.

In this, his fifth year in the Bigs, Gennett has already set career bests in home runs and RBIs and will likely reach new heights for a full season in batting average, OBP, SLG, OPS, etc.

He also did some record-breaking with a four-home run, 10-RBI day in June.

But nothing will compare with earlier this week, when he hit his 20th home run and came in for mop-up pitching duty in a 15-5 loss to the Cubs. 

In doing so, Gennett became only the second player in MLB history to hit his 20th home run in a game in which he pitched.

The other player to do so also had a nickname.

Babe.

Put that on your resume.
