Miguel Cabrera's 3,000th Hit
Miguel Cabrera singles twice in a 13–0 Detroit win over Colorado to reach 3,000 hits, having already passed 500 home runs.
The Rockies play at 5,200 feet, where a struck ball carries and a breaking ball does not break, and no club has found a settled answer to it in 33 seasons. The record is 2,364-2,818 with one pennant, in 2007, when the club won 21 of its last 22 games to reach the World Series and was then swept.
The 92 wins of 2009 are the most it has managed. The worst is 2025, at 43-119, one of the four heaviest losing seasons any club has had since 1901. The club played its first two years at Mile High Stadium and has been at Coors Field since 1995, where the humidor introduced in 2002 was an attempt to make the baseball behave as it does elsewhere.
Two Hall of Famers have played here: Larry Walker, who won the Most Valuable Player award with the club in 1997, and Todd Helton, who played all seventeen of his seasons in Colorado. Buddy Black has managed longer than anyone else, nine seasons.
