Biggio gets 3000 hits with a five-hit game on Thursday

Some interesting facts:

Biggio is the first player to collect his 3000th hit in a game in which he got five hits.

Never before has a player gotten his 500th homerun (Frank Thomas) on the same day that another player got his 3000th hit.

Had Biggio not been thrown out at second on his 3000th hit, it would have also been his 1000th career extra base hit. He is currently sitting at 999, with 658 doubles (sixth all-time, only seven behind George Brett).

Biggio is only the third player in the 3000-hit club to play the majority of his games at second base. The others are Eddie Collins and Nap Lajoie.

He is the only player in major league history to be a regular at catcher, a middle infield position and center field.

He is currently second all-time in HBP with 284. He will probably retire as the leader, since he's only three behind the leader, Hughie "Ee-yah" Jennings.

Biggio is the only player in MLB history with 3000 hits, 600 doubles, 250 HRs and 400 SBs. (Barry Bonds, with 2897 hits and 595 doubles, could be the second.)
