Discover the pitchers who gave up a 3,000th hit and the victims of a 3,000th strikeout. This book covers the near-miss men, the ones who almost made it to the milestone, and predicts which players might reach 3,000 hits or strikeouts next. This comprehensive volume tracks all players who have reached this impressive achievement, all who missed it by a hair, and some who might be poised to claim the title.   We conclude the show with the song, Baseball Always Brings You Home from the musician, Dave Dresser and the poet, Shel Krakofsky.
