Cobb Collects Hit Number 3000
Saturday, August 11th, 1917
Ty Cobb started out as a baby-faced rookie many seasons ago. Yesterday at Griffith Stadium I the Washington veteran joined the league's 3000-hit club. Cobb achieved that milestone with a 2-for-4 day in the Senators 6-1 win over the Chicago White Sox.

He spoke to reporters in the clubhouse after the game and said, "Looking at the list of all the great players who have done this is humbling. It is a great honor to be among them."

In his 1929-game career Cobb is batting .373 with 504 doubles, 265 triples, 85 home runs and 1307 RBIs. He has stolen 583 bases and scored 1778 times.
