 | Velásquez Gets Number 2000 Saturday, September 9th, 2034 The day belonged to Salvador Velásquez of the Milwaukee Meerkats as he became the latest player to reach the 2000-hit plateau. He did it in Milwaukee's 18-8 win over Mepkin Abbey. "It's a moment I'll never forget," said Velásquez after the game. "2000 hits is a lot. It puts you in a very select group. I never expected to be around long enough to reach a milestone like this." He finished the day with 3 hits in 5 at-bats. Velásquez is hitting the ball at a .312 clip over his career. In 1591 games he has delivered 2001 hits, 394 home runs with 1253 RBIs and scored 968 times. View Boxscore View Game Log |   |
