| 21 of 27 Cap Anson became the first member of the 3,000-hit club on Aug. 3, 1897, with a single off St. Louis' Bill Hart at West Side Grounds. Officially, Anson finished with 3,418 hits, although some historians question Anson's membership because walks were counted as hits (as well as at-bats) in 1887.
