Ian Happ plays in 1,000th major league game - all with Cubs

CHICAGO -- Ian Happ played in his 1,000th major league game on Saturday - all with the Chicago Cubs.

It's that last part that makes it special for the outfielder.

"I think the one thing that means a lot about it is is doing it all here," Happ said. "I think that's the thing that means a ton."

It's a rare accomplishment, too.

Happ became the eighth active player with 1,000 games with one team, according to the Elias Sports Bureau, joining a group that includes Aaron Judge, Mike Trout and José Ramírez.
