Frank Thomas hits number 500

Toronto Blue-Jays DH Frank Thomas hit career homerun number 500 today against Carlos Silva and the Minnesota Twins. It took Thomas 2,172 games to accomplish this goal, but it is a great story as his career looked heavily in doubt back in 2005.

In other record-routes, Craig Biggio remains 3 hits shy of reaching 3,000 hits, a milestone in which few hitters will ever accomplish.
