HOF has Story's gear, but he's not giving up bat

Cooperstown already has Trevor Story's helmet and batting gloves after his historic seven-homer first week, but the Baseball Hall of Fame isn't getting his bat.

"They asked for the bat," the Colorado Rockies shortstop said Sunday, "but I couldn't give up the bat."

Nobody in major league history ever had a first week like Story did: a record seven home runs in his first six games, including homers in his first four starts.

"It has been fun so far," the rookie said Sunday after hitting a solo shot in Colorado's 6-3 win over San Diego, giving him 12 RBIs and putting him on a ridiculous pace for 189 home runs and 324 RBIs this season.
