A-Rod had a great game last night, but it wasn't just his 3 for 5, 4 RBI day at the plate, but the fact that he collected his 2,500th hit (video).

He finished the day with 2,502 hits, good enough to tie with Jimmy Ryan at 88th all-time. Only six active players are ahead of him (Ken Griffey Jr. being the most ahead at 2,751), but he's the youngest of the bunch.
