Gabe Kapler just hit his 4th home run

You know it's the same Gabe Kapler, right?

It's the former backup outfielder for the Red Sox who injured himself rounding the bases on a homer.

It's the same guy who was in right field for the 9th inning of game 4 of the 2004 World Series and caught out #1.

It's the same guy who retired and was managing the Greenville Drive last season.

Well, somehow he is on the Milwaukee Brewers and has as many homers at this point in the season as David Ortiz, Prince Fielder, Manny Ramirez and Miguel Cabrera combined.

What are the chances of him being able to say that at any point in the season?

I would have given Gabe Kapler the same chance as Gabe Kaplan!

Good for Gabe... I'll always root for a member of the 2004 Red Sox.
And he is one of a handful of Jewish players in the Majors.

I mention that only because it gives me an excuse to play this clip of Denis Leary and Lenny Clarke visiting the Red Sox broadcast booth.
