With his fourth-inning single tonight, AndrewMcCutchen broke a tie with WillieStargell to secure sole possession of 180th place on Major League Baseball's all-time hits list. McCutchen now has 2,233 career hits and is one away from tying MikeSchmidt on the prestigious list.
“It’s cool," McCutchen said. "It’s obviously great company, so I don’t know. It’s great to be able to pass someone, any Hall of Famer in any type of category when it comes to stuff like that. ... I don’t know until someone tells me. Someone just told me that Mike Schmidt was next. I was like, ‘Oh, OK. Cool.’ I don’t know how many hits. It’s cool to be mentioned like that but I’m going to say the same stuff I say every time you ask me that question.”
McCutchen on specifically passing Stargell: “He is (an icon) but I want a championship. I don’t want hits.”
