Raffy gets 3000

As one of those "talents that you have that don't do you any good," I am a pretty good judge of ability in the major league sports. I was only about 13 or 14 years old when the Cubs decided to trade away Rafael Palmeiro for a bunch of nothing, and I remember lamenting it for weeks... I knew that the latest "Lou Brock" trade in our team's history had just occurred.

And so Raffy became the 4th person in the history of the game to amass 500 homers and 3000 hits. Congrats to Raphael...
