Foxburr Reaches 2000

MINAS MORGUL - It was a great day for Minto Foxburr of the Minas Morgul Slayers -- but not a perfect day. He became the latest player to reach the 2000-hit mark, but his team lost the game. The 31-year-old third baseman got his historic hit in Minas Morgul's 10-5 loss to Dead Marshes on July 27.

"It was a very special game for me, but not a good one for the team," said Foxburr after the game. Commenting on his achievement to reporters, he told them, "2000 hits are a lot. It puts you in a very select group. You have to hit well over a lot of seasons to do this. It's a good feeling to have your name in the record books with the other guys who have reached this level."

He finished the day with 3 hits in 5 at-bats.

In his career Foxburr has hit for a .299 average and totaled 2001 hits, 241 home runs and 938 RBIs.
