How many players have recorded 4,000 professional hits? Two? Three? 🤔

Turns out, it’s a lot more than most people realize.

Sports Reference's @adarowski.bsky.social breaks it down in our latest YouTube video 👇

In the quarterfinals of the NWSL Playoffs, Jaedyn Shaw made her presence felt for Gotham FC, despite having only appeared in 8 matches for the club.

Our own @emcanderson.bsky.social breaks down the impact Shaw had in the opening round, and how she'll be one to watch for in the semifinals.

Whew, I think I just recorded my LONGEST Pod of Fame with @jmiloch.bsky.social—and definitely the one that required the most preparation. Drops Monday. Can’t wait to share it.

Robinson Canó is retuning to Estrellas Orientales in the Dominican Winter League. This will be his sixth straight winter with the club and 15th overall.

We lost him three years ago this month. This one is from 13 years ago today. We miss him every day. What a good boy.

I recently got to introduce someone to LVL UP’s “Return to Love.” We share similar musical taste but they had never heard it. What a treat it would be to be able to hear this masterpiece for the first time. lvlup.bandcamp.com/album/return...

Here’s the recording of Monday night’s SABR chapter meeting where Von Spalding and I gave an updated presentation on the 4,000 Professional Hit Club. Quite a few updates in this one, including players on the brink and a newly discovered active leader. www.youtube.com/watch?v=7PJM...

Fuck it, here’s one more. “Stay Woke” is an important one to me and contains a lot of personal mantras. I can’t believe what we’re doing to our younger generations. I’m so sorry we let you down. Out for real on Friday (along with “Anti-Antifa,”‘which was shared last Friday).

I used to be so ambitious until I got this dog.

I anticipated this record with ridiculously unfair expectations. And it obliterated them.

Evergreen thought.
Just talking to your users regularly is such a cheat code.

A little research question. If you go to a team page and you see this “Follow” button, what do you think it would do?

Latest stats for the 4,000 Professional Hit Club.

Here are the players with 3800+. Thanks to @cmcgill.bsky.social, we are even closer on José Cruz. Added 29 hits during the call.

And our new active leader? It’s none other than… Agustín Murillo? Playing for Hermosillo, the 43-year old passed 3,600!
