Which team's roster had the most players on it who would eventually reach the 2000 hit milestone?
Out in LF (Bartman of BBF
1928 Athletics?
Mythical SF Chronicle scouting report: "That Jeff runs like a deer. Unfortunately, he also hits AND throws like one." I am Venus DeMilo - NO ARM! I can play like a big leaguer, I can field like Luzinski, run like Lombardi. The secret to managing is keeping the ones who hate you away from the undecided ones. I am a triumph of quantity over quality. I'm almost useful, every village needs an idiot.

If you go back just two years, the A's of 1928 had six players who would end with 2000+ hits ---- three of which (Cobb, Speaker, Collins) ALREADY had passed the 3000-hit mark by 1928.Originally Posted by Honus Wagner
Al Simmons
Ty cobb
Eddie Collins
Tris Speaker
Jimmy Dykes
Jimmie Foxx
I did some research on this a while back and Speaker, Cobb, and Collins appeared in several games together but never all got hits in the same game.

Just an interesting possibility.
The '95 Indians had 4 who are there:
Vizquel
Murray
Winfield
Lofton
1 more closing in (did he get there already this year?)
Ramirez
1 more who should barring career ending injury
Thome
That's 6
+Jeremy Burnitz and Brian Giles both over 1400-apparently falling fast but still starters and still could turn it around for another run.
That would be 8
+Longshot but possible David Bell-although he'd have to match his career high for 6 more years.
AND Albert Bell who I know finished close
+ a pair of catchers with over 2800 between them.
