2. Rodriguez Reaches 2000 RBIs
A-Rod’s two-run shot against the Baltimore Orioles not only knotted the game up at 4 apiece, but it was the 666th home run of his career and gave him 2,001 RBIs.
There are only four players to drive in 2000 RBIs in their careers. That list includes Hank Aaron (2,297 RBI), Babe Ruth (2,214) and Cap Anson (2,075).
However, technically Aaron and Rodriguez are the only players with more than 2,000 because Anson and Ruth did it before the RBI became an official statistic.
Nevertheless, this feat is one of the rarest in the game, yet often goes unnoticed. I could even argue that this feat is far more impressive than the next one.
