On Oct. 3, the final day of the 2021 regular season, Buster Posey picked up two singles as part of an 11-4 Giants win over the Padres, clinching the division title and giving the veteran catcher an even 1,500 hits for his career. After the game, Posey remarked on the milestone, describing it as a “nice mark, a nice round number,” before quickly drawing attention to the hits’ impact on the team’s win.
“I think being able to drive in some runs there with those last two hits probably [means] more than even getting there,” Posey said, per John Shea of the San Francisco Chronicle.
