Batting Milestones

With Rafael Palmerio's 3,000th hit recently, I began to wonder how many people I remembered reaching milestones. The first one I remember was Paul Molitor. Dad told me about it the next morning, but I didn't really understand why it was such a big deal. He explained to me how it was a very big milestone Molitor reached and it was a great achievement for a player. Also I remember thinking Dad was saying Palmolive, and I was really confused as to why soap was playing baseball. So here are the batting milestones I remember, some better than others.
