In some strange joke by the baseball gods, the Rockies have seen their fair share of milestone hits. Sure, they’ve had their own, but they’ve also been the enabler for plenty of others. This weekend they were once able to play a small part in baseball history by giving up Miguel Cabrera’s 3,000th hit, but the kicker is that it’s not the first time they’ve been subject to the feat.
Only 33 players in the history of the game have eclipsed that mark, and the Rockies have now helped four of the last nine batters (12% of that club) finally get over the hump.
