Sporcle Saturday: That’s a lotta hits

Good morning!

One of the round milestones I was on the lookout for this season was Tim Anderson's quest for career hit number 1,000. Alas, Anderson sits on the injured list 86 hits shy. Among current White Sox players it's Anderson at 914 and then nobody else anywhere near him. Entering Friday's game Yoan Moncada has 621 hits followed by Eloy, all the way down at 331.

Assuming Anderson gets healthy and stays healthy (feel free to laugh heartily at said assumption; there's a reason "ass" and "u" are in the word, etc.), mid-summer seems around the time he'd enter the franchise 1,000 hit club. For now, that club remains at 29 players and is what I'm quizzing you about today: how many can you name? Good luck!

Quiz Parameters

  • I've allotted 10 minutes for completion attempts.
  • For hints, I've provided the number of hits and the tenure of the player in question.

Useless information to amaze, annoy, confuse, and/or confound your friends and family:

  • Every position on the diamond is represented on this list, aside from pitcher.
  • The top two players on this list combined for just 80 home runs; meanwhile, the next two combined for 880!
  • The average triple-slash of the players on this list: .283/.351/.413.
