Rivas Gets Number 2000 Sunday, September 14th , 2053 The Mahoning Valley 5-4 loss to Manchester wasn't all bad. Something good came out it, at least for Manolo Rivas. As a consolation prize he got the 2000th hit of his career. The veteran Scrappers third baseman went 2-for-4 in the game and added his name to the coveted 2000-hit club. He was given a five-minute ovation by the crowd, which included his wife and family and quite a few former Scrappers teammates. "I could have scripted it better," Rivas commented to the press after the game, "a win would have made it a lot more enjoyable. But what the hey... hit #2000 ain't so bad." Looking at his career stats, Rivas is batting .256 and has totaled 357 home runs. View Boxscore View Game Log Watch Highlights |
