Thursday was a big day for milestones in Major League Baseball. Craig Biggio got his 3,000th hit as he went 5 for 6 in an 8-5 win in 11 innings over the Colorado Rockies that ended on a walk-off grand slam by Carlos Lee. Biggio has 3,002 hits now and got #3,000 off Aaron Cook. Biggio was thrown out at 2nd trying to stretch #3,000 into a double.
Frank Thomas of the Toronto Blue Jays got his 500th home run in Minnesota also on Thursday. "Big Hurt" got it off Carlos Silva in the 1st inning of an 8-5 loss to Minnesota. He has hit 10% of his 500(50) off of the Minnesota Twins where they were a division rival for most of his career while he was in Chicago playing for the White Sox. Then, in the 9th inning Thomas got ejected from the game for arguing balls and strikes with umpire Mark Wegner.
