ANAHEIM -- Above the center-field bleachers stands a billboard bearing a photo of him mid-swing, alongside a career hit total that is progressively inching toward another illustrious round number. Every time he adds to the sum at a home game, Angel Stadium employees get to work rearranging the placards to display the updated total in real time. When the Angels return to Orange County to host the Yankees on Friday night, the billboard will read 2,994.
His likeness is also featured on an advertisement along the right-field wall announcing a future promotional giveaway, a commemorative bobblehead in honor of his impending milestone.
