White Sox star second baseman and future Hall-of-Famer Eddie Collins rapped out his 3,000th career hit, the only player ever to reach the milestone in a White Sox uniform.
It came in a 4-1 loss at Washington, off of Walter Johnson in the ninth inning, and was a double. That season, playing in 118 games Collins hit .346!
Collins finished his 25-year career with 3,315 hits — 2,094 of them with the White Sox.

He got his first managerial win with the White Sox back in 1979, and for Tony La Russa it was a sense of deja vu.
