Hit #2000 for Angels Espaillat
Friday, August 18th , 2079
The San Antonio 3-2 loss to Denver wasn't all bad. Something good came out it, at least for David Espaillat. As a consolation prize he got the 2000th hit of his career. The veteran Angels center fielder went 1-for-3 in the game and added his name to the coveted 2000-hit club. He was given a five-minute ovation by the crowd, which included his wife and family and quite a few former Angels teammates.
"I could have scripted it better," Espaillat commented to the press after the game, "a win would have made it a lot more enjoyable. But what the hey... hit #2000 ain't so bad."
His career numbers show Espaillat is currently carrying a .267 lifetime batting average with 458 home runs and 1360 RBIs.
