Friday, August 13th , 1971
By going 1-for-4 in the Chicago 4-2 win over Los Angeles, Bill Ray reached the 2500-hit mark. The San Vicente Park fans, friend and foe, burst into applause and Ray's teammates hugged and congratulated him on his achievement.
"The guys began the countdown weeks ago," said the newest member of the 2500 Club. "I don't know who was more excited -- them or me."
Ray has a career .289 average with 2500 hits, 401 doubles, 61 triples, 362 home runs, 1325 RBIs, and 1309 runs scored to date.
