Hint: The oldest player to have gotten his 3000th hit was also the inaugural member of the 3000 hit club (he was 45!)
Lowest batting average was Cal Ripken, Jr. (.276). Next lowest was Ricky Henderson (.279). Biggio was third at .381. Ty Cobb was highest at .366.
Both Yount's and Cobb's 3000 hit was a single.
HINTS: One of the triples was within the last 10 years. It was from a player with only 96 career triples. I don't really have a good hint for the other guy, but he played most of his career in the 80's and 90's.
The guy who is in the 3000 hit/500 home run club and whose 3000th hit was a home run is also of fairly recent vintage. The other two guys who hit a home run for the 3000th hit were Derek Jeter and Wade Boggs.
