At the start of the series between the Houston Astros and the Colorado
Rockies, at Coors Field, Venezuelan player José Altuve reached
a whopping 2,400 lifetime hits in the Major Leagues (MLB).
In his first at-bat, the Astroboy hit a double
all over center field, and minutes later he stepped on the plate to score the
first run of the match, driven by a similar blow from his
former teammate and friend, Carlos Correa.
With these 2,400 hits, Altuve was only 70 short
of reaching the record set by Bob Abreu, who ranks fourth in history among
those born in Venezuela. In addition, the second baseman reached 458 doubles to
consolidate himself in the historic third place among his compatriots.
With 1,247 scored, he is already the fifth Venezuelan with the most
runs in the history of the Grand Tent. As long as it maintains this pace, the 3,000 hits club
, a figure that would take him straight to Cooperstown, seems to be
an inevitable destination for the little giant of Maracay.
