 | Monday, September 11th, 1939: Number 2000 for Ott
Mel Ott started out as a baby-faced rookie many seasons ago. Yesterday at Wrigley Field the Chicago (N) veteran joined the 2000-hit club. Ott achieved that milestone with a 4-for-5 day in the Cubs 9-6 win over the Boston (N) Braves.
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."
During his career Ott has chalked up 2000 hits and a .312 average with 289 home runs and 1116 RBIs.
