 | Number 2500 for Wagner Thursday, September 15th, 1977 For Leon Wagner, it was a red-letter day. The Arizona Diamondbacks left fielder slapped his 2500th career hit. That his team defeated the St. Louis Cardinals, 9-3, made it even sweeter. His manager paid tribute to Wagner after the game: "I've followed Leon since he came into the league," he said. "Fine ballplayer. Fine work ethic. I'm not surprised by what he's achieved." The 36-year-old Wagner finished the day with 2 hits in 5 at-bats. In his 2192-game career Wagner has tagged 2501 hits with 249 doubles, 9 triples and 335 home runs. His lifetime batting average is .293 with 1284 RBIs and 1125 runs scored.
