You gotta be kidding me.

It looks to me like Miggy is the only member of the 3000/500 club who has also won a triple crown- at least I?m looking over the lists and not finding anyone else.

Yaz and Cobb won triple crowns with 3000 hits; Frank Robinson, Mickey Mantle and Ted Williams won triple crowns with 500 homers.

Am I missing anyone?

Loved that Iglesias was the first player from either team over there to congratulate him

Watched the game just now on relay.. What a moment.

Great moment. Loved seeing how excited Iglesias was for him

Only Venezuelan born with 3000. That's some accomplishment.

Maybe he can get to 3250 when he retires. Just stay healthy.

We talk about the big contract he got and the injuries and the no WS titles but if he got 3000 somewhere else I'd be bummed. Really bummed. It was so worth it.

Oh, he has a WS title.

I'm sure you understood I was referring to Detroit.
