Well, if it is 1988, the Dodgers won the world series that year, so that must be it.

6/2/88. Orel Hershiser throws a two-hit shutout against Nolan Ryan and the 'Stros and Biggio accounted for half the offense.

The corollary to the Molitor question is who is the only player to hit a homerun on his 3,000th hit

And who was the last member of the 3,000th club that after reaching base, got caught out of base.

Think that was Biggio again against my Rockies. Didn't Frank Thomas get his 500th HR the same day and then got ejected for arguing a called strike?

Yep. Arguing balls & strikes will get you tossed, even if you're Big Frank.

Nope, he was caught before he even reached second base, I was meaning after he was congratulated on base.
