Harris, 39, reached his magic milestone on August 7, when he singled against Detroit's John Jackson. A career .325 hitter, Harris reached 3000 hits in the 2397th game of his big league career. The Tigers won the game, 7-3.

Wow, a catcher with 3000 hits! I missed that the first time through. Was he always a catcher?
