Keeler Reaches 2,500
Willie Keeler has gone through many bats during his playing career. None of them means as much to him as the one he used to crack career hit number 2,500 at Palace of the Fans yesterday.
The 34-year-old Superbas right fielder told reporters after the game, "I plan to keep this bat at home in my own private Hall of Fame."
It was a happy day for Keeler from the standpoint of the 2,500-hit milestone, but a little disappointing, too. Despite his achievement, Brooklyn dropped the contest to the Cincinnati Reds 10-4.
For the day, Keeler finished the day with 3 hits in 5 at-bats.
For his career, Keeler is hitting .359 with 29 homers, 810 RBIs, and 2,500 hits.
Cincinnati Reds (21-15) over Brooklyn Superbas (14-20)
