August 19, 201213 yr Did Konerko get his ring for his 400th homer with the Sox or 400th homer overall, or both?
August 19, 201213 yr Would have thought Youk would be closer to 1500 career hits...just goes to show you how difficult and elusive that 3,000 mark is. Unless you start out at 19 or 20 like A-Rod, Griffey, Cabrera, Trout, Harper, etc. Even then, you have to stay healthy in your 30's. Ichiro probably would have done it (and he did adding both JPL and MLB) had he begun his career in the US. Isn't Michael Young the next strong candidate to make it? Seems strange to think of him as a HOF candidate due to his poor defense and playing in Texas, but it would be next to impossible to keep him out at that mark or above.

August 19, 201213 yr QUOTE (hammerhead johnson @ Aug 19, 2012 -> 11:56 AM) Ichiro is really one of the true legends of our time. Thanks, Hawk.
August 19, 201213 yr QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Aug 19, 2012 -> 04:26 PM) Quite a treat to see Youk and the Big Un reach that milestone on the same days Not really. But I'm glad you enjoyed it.
August 19, 201213 yr Ichiro is the reason why I purchased a Honda Odyssey. If anyone has a problem with that, go screw yourself.

August 19, 201213 yr I had to look that up, but hell yeah man. And let's give it up to wikipedia: As with car surfing, ghost riding can be dangerous and has resulted in between two and eight deaths in North America Somewhere between two and eight deaths, huh?

August 20, 201213 yr I think I would have done the same thing in this situation, just reacting to a huge milestone ball that just went over my head. Too bad he was stripped of the ball on top of it. http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/mlb-big-leag...cGFnZQ--;_ylv=3

I don't think Michael Young has any chance at 3000. He's soon to turn 36 and still needs 800+ hits. Watching him this year, the guy looks like he's just about done. I think Ichiro has a better chance at 3000 than Michael Young.
August 21, 201213 yr Author http://chicago.whitesox.mlb.com/news/artic...s#disqus_thread Major League Baseball overturned an error that was charged to Toronto shortstop Yunel Escobar on Thursday in Toronto, giving a hit instead to Youkilis. That play served as the 999th hit of Youkilis' career, and he recorded his 1,000th career hit with a one-out, eighth-inning single off Darren Oliver in the same game, not in Kansas City.
