Posted By: <b>Ben</b><p>I'll begin the game by asking a baseball trivia question, and whomever gets the correct answer is resposible for coming up with their own question and so on and so forth.<BR><BR>Who was the first player ever to reach 3,000 hits? What year did he do it in? Another player reached 3,000 hits later that same year-who was it?

Posted By: <b>Ben</b><p>I forgot about Anson...I thought Honus was first, and Lajoie was second, both in 1914. But you guys are right, it was Anson, my mistake.<BR><BR>Anybody else want to take it from here?
