Beltran homers for 1,000th extra-base hit

By hitting his 407th homer, Beltran tied New York baseball royalty Duke Snider for 53rd place on the all-time home run list. After he passes Snider, the next player he'll be chasing on the list is former Yankee Alfonso Soriano with 412 home runs.

Earlier this season, Beltran became the 54th member of the 400 home run club, joining just Mickey Mantle, Eddie Murray and Chipper Jones as switch-hitters to reach that plateau. Beltran also became the seventh player in MLB history with 1,000 extra-base hits, 1,000 walks and 300 stolen bases, a mark he shares with Ty Cobb, Willie Mays, Tris Speaker, Barry Bonds, Craig Biggio and Alex Rodriguez.
