Hit #2000 for Orioles Robinson

The Baltimore contest with Boston featured a real shining moment: Brooks Robinson, the Orioles third baseman, collected career base hit #2000. That his team lost the game, 12-5, took away only a little bit of the luster. Fittingly, the 33-year-old Robinson, who went 1-for-5, received a warm ovation from the Fenway Park crowd.

During his 1951-game career Robinson has batted .273 and collected 2000 hits, 202 home runs and 953 RBIs.
