He joins an elite group of 27 players to reach that plateau...myself and good friend Frank Colvin had this guy destined for greatness 18 year's ago!

Yes, when you become only the 27th man to do something in MLB, that is great. The guy has been the consummate professional, starting at three different positions during his career. He has Hall of Fame credentials and should be there on the first ballot.

Only Pete Rose, Rafael Palmeiro & Ricky Henderson ahead of him on the hit list (the rest in the HOF) and 6th all-time in doubles (658)

Belongs there on those stats alone!

If you want to put somebody in for having a lot of at bats,then go for it,but he is nothing more than a glorified grinder.You can look at it anyway you want,but he is an average player that played forever.If you're desperate to put an Astro in,then Bagwell is a much better candidate.He had 10x the talent of this guy.
