Mr. 3000

While dinking around on the internets before tonights game, I found out that this guy is 4 hits away from 3000. Although his numbers have certainly declined in the past few years, He still has a couple drops left in the tank for the final push to immortal status. There is some speculation, and I would consider it pretty factual, that old Scrap Iron will hold Bigs up to let him get the hit at home. How could you blame him? In todays fast paced, money driven game, it is a special rarity that a player sticks with the same team for his whole 19 season career. In any event, I think that this statistic is the most telling about one of the most stand up guys ever to play the game. Good luck sir, and 5 years from retiring, I hope you are in on the first ballot.

UPDATE:
The man is playing tonight(6/26), and is now 3 hits away from immortality.
