Cooperstown Diamond Legends News Article | |  | Sunday, August 25th, 2030: Detroit's García Reaches 2000 Hits José García has gone through many bats during his playing career. None of them means as much to him as the one he used to crack career hit number 2000 at Comerica Park yesterday.
The 32-year-old Tigers center fielder told reporters after the game, "I plan to keep this bat at home in my own private Hall of Fame."
It was a happy day for García from the standpoint of the 2000-hit milestone, but a little disappointing, too. Despite his achievement, Detroit dropped the contest to the Kansas City Royals 6-4.
For the day García finished the day with 2 hits in 4 at-bats.
In his 1632-game career García is batting .280 with 246 doubles, 68 triples, 166 home runs and 765 RBIs. He has stolen 1163 bases and scored 1209 times. | |
