More Record Smashing

"Dan Uggla belted a two-run home run to lead the Florida Marlins past the Atlanta Braves, 6-4, at Turner Field.

"Uggla's home run was his 25th of the season, setting the major league record for most home runs by a rookie second baseman in a season." (MonstersAndCritics.com)

"Dan Uggla's 25th home run of the season made Florida just the second team in big-league history to have a pair of rookies hit that many homers; Josh Willingham has also connected 25 times. The other team that did it: Al Rosen (37) and Luke Easter (28) for the Indians in 1950." (ESPN)
