Morán Collects Hit Number 2000 Thursday, September 16th, 2066 Colorado's Fernando Morán got the standing ovation -- but the Arizona Diamondbacks got the win. It was a special day for him at Coors Field. A day when Morán notched hit #2000 of his career. The fans went wild when he did. Even the Diamondbacks fans applauded. The Rockies second baseman went 3-5 in a losing cause as Arizona spoiled the party with the 9-8 victory. In the postgame interview, a downhearted Morán told the media, "We lost -- It's not about individual accomplishments -- we lost." When pressed further, he admitted his pride in reaching the 2000-hit mark, "A lot of great players never get there. I'm proud, but I would be happier if we had won." Morán's career batting average is .349. In 1396 games, he has gotten 2001 hits, 315 home runs, 1048 RBIs and scored 1324 runs. |
