Morrison unimpressed by homer milestone

SEATTLE -- Leave it to Logan Morrison and a bit of historic timing to quickly find a way to put a career milestone in proper perspective.

Morrison's home run late in the Rays' 9-2 loss to the Mariners on Saturday night was the 100th round-tripper of his Major League career, an achievement that speaks not only to talent but longevity -- he's been in the big leagues since 2010, when he broke in with the Marlins at the age of 22 -- and persistence.

But Morrison didn't exactly get to bask in the glow of his round-number benchmark.
