Two perennial all-stars achieved major milestones on this date in2007.
Frank Thomas became the 21st member of the 500 home run club when he hit a three-run shot against the Blue Jays’ Carlos Silva on the way to a 5 – 4 White Sox win.
Meanwhile Craig Biggio became the 27th member of the 3,000 hit brotherhood. He was 5-6 in an extra inning 8-5 win over the Rockies.
