On May 16, 1995, Toronto first baseman Will Clark launched the 300th home run of his DBL career, adding another historic milestone to one of the league’s most consistent offensive résumés.

May 14: Sele Rebounds, Johnson and Clark Go Deep, and the Drama Keeps Coming Aaron Sele bounced back in a big way. After getting shelled by the Giants in his previous start, he threw a complete-game shutout—9 innings, 4 hits, 8 Ks—as the Dodgers edged the Tigers 1–0.
