The game between the Detroit Tigers and Colorado Rockies was rained out, meaning that the quest for his 3,000th hit will be delayed for at least one more day.

About an hour before the game was supposed to start, it was called off. There are 2,999 career hits for the man.

The teams will play a split game on Saturday. The games are scheduled to start at 1:10 p.m.

A loud chorus of boos was set off by the fact that the New York Yankees had intentionally walked Cabrera in the eighth.

The first Venezuela player to reach 3,000 hits is on the verge of doing so.

He is one hit away from becoming the seventh player with 500 home runs and 3,000 hits. The exclusive club includes some of the game's all-time greats: Hank Aaron, Willie Mays, Eddie Murray, Rafael Palmeiro, Albert Pujols and Alex Rodriguez.

Triple Crown winner, two-time American League Most Valuable Player, and 11-time All-Star with four batting titles, is a man named Asdrubal Cabrera.
