Number 2500 for Foxx Saturday, September 17th, 1938 Philadelphia's Jimmie Foxx got the standing ovation -- but the Chicago White Sox got the win. It was a special day for him at Comiskey Park. A day when Foxx notched hit #2500 of his career. The fans went wild when he did. Even the White Sox fans applauded. The Athletics first baseman went 2-for-3 in a losing cause as Chicago spoiled the party with the 11-6 victory. In the postgame interview, a downhearted Foxx told the media, "We lost -- It's not about individual accomplishments -- we lost." When pressed further, he admitted his pride in reaching the 2500-hit mark, "A lot of great players never get there. I'm proud, but I would be happier if we had won." Looking at his all-time stats, Foxx has a career .344 average with 2501 hits, 370 doubles, 104 triples, 479 home runs and 1660 RBIs to date. He has scored 1596 runs, walked 1314 times and stolen 63 bases. View Boxscore View Game Log |
