3081st Career Hit Baseball (5/23/2000)
After passing 3,000, each baseball Tony Gwynn clubbed into play placed him in increasingly rarified air.
Description
On May 23, 2000, Tony Gwynn recorded the 3,081st hit of his storied career, continuing to build on his place among baseball’s all-time greats. After reaching the 3,000-hit milestone the previous season, every hit that followed added to a total only a handful of players in history have ever reached. By the time his career concluded, Gwynn would tally 3,141 hits—ranking him among the most elite contact hitters the game has ever seen. This baseball, preserved from that night, represents not just a number but a continuation of greatness, marked by consistency, professionalism, and an unwavering commitment to the craft of hitting.
