Bell Collects Hit Number 3000
Tuesday, August 30th, 1938
What a day for Cool Papa Bell. The 35-year-old Hollywood center fielder reached the 3000-hit mark today and the Stars whipped the San Francisco Seals 8-6.

Bell told reporters, "It's good to finally get it. The closer you get to 3000, the harder it is to get there. Now the pressure is off and I can go back to just playing ball."

He went 1 for 1 in the game to reach the milestone.

In 2277 career games Bell has batted .320 with 3000 hits with 467 doubles, 173 triples and 105 home runs. He has also collected 992 RBIs and scored 1862 runs.
