3000-300 club
The 3000-300 club is an informal name for the list of Major League Baseball players who have achieved 3000 hits and 300 home runs. The list currently contains 10 players. The list is sometimes shortened by only including players with 400 home runs (8 players) or 500 home runs (4 players). Achieving these two feats of longevity means the player is likely to enter into the Baseball hall of fame.
