Phillies’ Jimmy Rollins Picks Up Career Hit 2,000

In the 5th inning of Tuesday night's game, Phillies shortstop Jimmy Rollins reached another milestone in his career. Rollins doubled down the right field line, picking up number 2,000. 

Rollins is behind just three Phillies all-time and may have a shot to be the all-time Phillies hits leader, should he finish his current contract with the Phillies and avoid injury.   Currently ahead of Rollins is Mike Schmidt with 2,234 hits, Richie Ashburn with 2,217 hits, and Ed Delahanty with 2,207.

Rollins is also chasing a number of other Phillies all-time records.

Jimmy Rollins has had a tumultuous week, getting benched for failing to hustle in a game against the New York Mets last week and it drew the ire of the fans.

But, when it's all said and done, Rollins should have a very special place in Phillies history.  Our follower (whom we all follow) Billy had an interesting question:

What do you think it should be?
