For so long, we've thought that the 4,000 hit club was one of the most exclusive in baseball history, with just two members. But on the 98th anniversary of Ty Cobb's 4,000th hit, Mike and Bill are joined by Sports Reference's Executive Director of Design, Negro Leagues expert and Latin baseball researcher Adam Darowski (@adarowski.bsky.social) to talk about his presentation at SABR 53, and how much larger that club actually is. The answer, and the players on it, will surprise you and hopefully expand your horizons about what should count toward the record book of baseball.

Plus, happy birthday to Rubén Gómez and to Jesse Tannehill!

And farewell to Mark Esser, Jack Curtis, Rod Nichols, and Jason Conti.

Here's the link to the SABR 53 presentations, where you can find audio and slides from Adam's talk: https://sabr.org/convention/sabr53-presentations
