On September 30th, 1972 ‘The Great One’ Roberto Clemente laced a double into left centerfield to become the 11th Major League Player to reach 3,000 hits. It would ultimately be Roberto’s final career hit. Fast forward 20 years, to the 30th of September 1992 during a night time affair in Anaheim. Kansas City Royals DH George Brett goes 4 for 4 to reach the 3,000 hit plateau in a 4-0 Royals win. During the 20 year period between Roberto & George 6 other MLB sluggers reached the 3,000 hit milestone. I’ve got an Issue of Blaze going out to the 1st person who DM’s over those 6 players.
