And he's the fifth player since 1900 — Chris Davis (Orioles, 2013), Nelson Cruz (Rangers, 2011), Mark McGwire (Cardinals, 1998) and Willie Mays (Giants, 1971) are the others — to hit a home run in each of his team's first four games in a season. Story, 23, belted his first four home runs in the Rockies' season-opening series at Arizona. "I've said it before, I'm not trying to hit home runs, sometimes it kind of happens," Story said. According to Elias Sports Bureau, via ESPN, he is the first player in 100 years to homer in each of his first four major league games.

 "It's legendary what he's doing," Rockies slugger Carlos Gonzalez said. "He's fearless. He's playing like a Hall of Famer right now.'' Story said Thursday he had donated his helmet and batting gloves from his historic start to the Hall of Fame, but wasn't about to part with any of his bats. On Friday, Story had three hits and drove in four runs while playing for the first time at Coors. After going yard in both the fourth and ninth inninngs of a 13-6 loss, he has six home runs and 11 RBI in his first 19 major-league at-bats.

 "I don't think I've ever seen anything like it, let alone a rookie," Rockies manager Walt Weiss said. "He's fun to watch, one of the few bright spots today." Even the Padres were talking about Story, however. "He's come out of nowhere,'' San Diego outfielder Matt Kemp said. "I think anybody who hits six homers in four games, especially being his first week in the big leagues, is impressive. He's got a great swing. It's definitely harder than it looks." Story played for the first time at Coors Field on Friday. Story won the starting job this spring after star shortstop Jose Reyes was suspended with pay under the sport's new domestic abuse policy just before the start of spring training for an alleged incident with his wife at a Maui resort hotel on Oct. 31.

– Colorado Rockies rookie Trevor Story is socking dingers and mashing taters at a historic rate through the first four games of the baseball season. ESPN reports the 23-year-old is the first major league rookie to homer in each of his first four professional games and only the fifth player since 1900 to homer in the first four games of the season. He's also the first player ever with two multi-homer games in the first four games of the season. "I don't think I've ever seen anything like it, let alone a rookie," Rockies manager Walt Weiss says. With six home runs through four games, Story is on pace for 243 on the season, Fox Sports reports. The record is 73. "It's legendary what he's doing," ESPN quotes Rockies outfielder Carlos Gonzalez as saying. "He's playing like a Hall of Famer right now.'' In fact, Story's batting gloves and helmet have already been sent to Cooperstown due to his historic start. Story, who only hit 20 home runs in all of last season in the minor leagues, is modest about the whole thing. "I'm not trying to hit home runs," he says. "Sometimes it kind of happens." The Rockies gave Story his chance after the team's starting shortstop was suspended over domestic abuse allegations.
