Book description
Meet the members of the most exclusive club in Major League
Baseball. There is no award, there are no ceremonies, but nothing can
compare to the pride and glory felt by a player as he hits that
miracle milestone: 3,000. Since Cap Anson first reached the mark in
1897, only twenty-eight baseball players have ever heard the crack of
ball and bat over 2,999 times; this newly updated edition of The 3,000
Hit Club captures the unique stories and career highlights of each
one.
In this distinctive collection of history and stats,
veteran sportswriter Fred McMane takes readers onto the field and up
to the plate with baseball's greatest players. From Pete Rose and
Willie Mays to Ricky Henderson and Derek Jeter, The 3,000 Hit Club has
it all.
