Carlos Pena, Haverhill High School and Northeastern University Product, Hits 250th Career Home Run

Carlos Pena has never been one to hit for average, but the Haverhill High School and Northeastern University product has always possessed raw power.

Pena crushed a home run to left-center field at Wrigley Field on Monday to record his 250th career home run. Playing his first season with the Chicago Cubs after a decade with five American League clubs, Pena now has 20 home runs in 2011.

His batting average is only .225, but even that's a marked improvement from April, when he batted .159.

Pena now has six seasons with at least 20 home runs, including a career-high 46 dingers in 2007. He is signed a one-year, $10 million contract in the offseason.
