Jake Burger hit his first home run as a member of the Texas Rangers on Thursday. During the fifth inning of the Rangers Spring Training game against the Seattle Mariners, Burger, who started at DH, took Blas Castano deep with two outs and a runner on first.
Burger was wearing a hospital band when he hit the home run. It wasn't his, but one from his four month old daughter Penelope's successful open-heart surgery, which took place on Monday.
