Javier Gets Number 2000
Athletics center fielder Stan Javier never thought his name would be associated with some of the great players in league history. Now that he has reached the 2000-hit threshold, that's all but guaranteed. Javier collected his big hit in a 5-3 loss to Minnesota.

Afterward, he thought about the achievement: "Overwhelmed," he said. "That's how I feel about it right now."

Javier went 2-for-4 for the game.

Javier has played in 1786 games and posted a lifetime .282 average. He has 2000 hits, 261 doubles, 86 triples and 86 homers. In addition he has driven in 704 runs and scored 932 times.
