First player to reach 3000 hits not to make the HOF?

I'll take a stab and say Trout...sure I'm wrong

You did mean active players, right?

I cheated and looked it up. Quite a surprise, as is the guy who has a few more and is 30.

I used to set aside the junk wax cards of guys I figured had a shot at 3000 hits or 400+ HR. I should get the box out of the barn and list the names, it should be amusing.
I based it on a presumed career of 20 years averaging 150 hits a year. There were a lot of players reliably hitting 150 hits a year. Nearly none of them made 3000.

Yeah once you hit 33 or 34 or so it's hard to sustain. Look at Miggy.

I used to do that to. Somewhere I think I still have a stack of Matt Nokes, Jerome Walton and Kevin Seitzer rookie cards that....call me optimistic...I am still hoping will be worth something someday.

Castro would have been my first guess, the guy who is 30 would have been my second. The right answer would have been third or lower.
