Any details on that and the 2000th run, Matt? Such who the 4000th hit was off? And when and how the 2000th run was scored?

His 2000th run came on Sept. 7th as he went 1-for-3 in a 2-1 10th inning win over Cleveland. I don't have the box score anymore, but I doubt he scored in the 10th since he had just 3 at-bats.
Hit 4000th hit did indeed come on Sept 20th in a 5-6 11th inning loss to the Yankees. He went 1-for-2 with a walk, and it was the next-to-last game he started.
On another note, I'd like to point out that long-time Athletic "Bull" Zegri topped 1600 RBI, 600 Doubles and 1400 walks this season, putting him near the top of each category. He is one of several great A's who will likely retire with no World Championship, despite 4 pennants in 8 years.
