Molina Gets 1000, Remains Very Cool
Jun 3, 2008 MLB
Bengie Molina got his 1000th career hit last night. I think his post-game quote is worth sharing:
“It means a lot to me,” an emotional Molina said. “It’s like most of the guys hitting 3,000. I know and understand I’m not a superstar. I’m not a Hall of Famer. But to get to 1,000 hits for a guy who wasn’t supposed to sign and signed for $1,000 — $750 after taxes — for a guy who wasn’t supposed to make in the minor leagues, for being the slowest guy in the world, to get 1,000 hits is really an honor for me.
Nicely done, Bengie. Congratulations.
