New York Yankees second baseman Robinson Cano recorded the 1,500th hit of his Major League career on Thursday afternoon against the Colorado Rockies.
"It means a lot," Cano said. "It's one of the dreams come true. When you get to the big leagues, you want to be successful."
Upon returning to the dugout, Cano was presented with a baseball to commemorate the milestone. Upon reading the inscription, he realized it was not the real ball.
Cano, 30, made his Major League debut on May 3, 2005, at Tampa Bay. One day later, in his first at-bat, Cano, a four-time All-Star, singled in the third inning off Hideo Nomo for his first Major League hit.
