Beltre is at 2,999 hits [View all]

There's a good chance he'll go over 3,000 today so those interested might want to watch it. It's a day game at 2pm Texas time. I'm going to be there.

If he makes it today he'll be the 31st player to do so. If he manages to finish his career with over 500 HR, he'll also be one of only 6 to be in both the 3,000 club and the 500 club, and will insure he'll be a first ballot HOFer.
