Richie Hebner Gets Hit Number 2000 Tuesday, August 5th, 1969 For Richie Hebner, it was a red-letter day. The Pittsburgh Pirates third baseman slapped his 2000th career hit. That his team defeated the Milwaukee Brewers, 8-1, made it even sweeter. His manager paid tribute to Hebner after the game: "I've followed Richie since he came into the league," he said. "Fine ballplayer. Fine work ethic. I'm not surprised by what he's achieved." The 31-year-old Hebner finished the day with 1 hit in 4 at-bats. Lifetime in 1748 games Hebner is batting .294 with 248 home runs and 885 RBIs. View Boxscore View Game Log |
