Number 3000 for Soucy Friday, April 2nd, 2032 George Soucy has gone through many bats during his playing career. None of them means as much to him as the one he used to crack career hit number 3000 at Skellington Stadium yesterday. The 36-year-old Jacks first baseman told reporters after the game, "I plan to keep this bat at home in my own private Hall of Fame." It was a happy day for Soucy from the standpoint of the 3000-hit milestone, but a little disappointing, too. Despite his achievement, Jacksonville dropped the contest to the Hawaii Islanders 14-4. For the day Soucy finished the day with 1 hit in 4 at-bats. In his career Soucy has played in 2334 games with a .335 batting average. Among his 3000 hits are 442 doubles, 26 triples and 400 home runs. He also has scored 1641 runs and driven in 1521 runs. View Boxscore View Game Log |
