He reached the 3,000 hit plateau on September 16, 1996.

His historic hit came exactly three years to the day that Dave Winfield made it to 3,000. Like Winfield, Molitor was born in St. Paul, Minn., and was playing for the Twins when he made it to the milestone.

Long-time teammate Robin Yount (born on September 16, 1955) and George Brett were in attendance at Kauffman Stadium.

#4 Paul Molitor
