Yadier Molina is getting closer to being an immortal in the prestigious Cooperstown Baseball Hall of Fame.
There are still a few years to go before that great moment.
But as time goes on, the Puerto Rican wide receiver for the San Luis Cardinals continues to make history in the Major Leagues.
On Wednesday, Molina became the first catcher to host 2,000 games with the same team. In total, six recipients have received 2,000 games in the majors, but with different ninths. These are Iván Rodríguez (2,427), Carlton Fisk (2,226), Bob Boone (2,225), Gary Carter (2,056) and Jason Kendall (2,025).
The 38-year-old from Dora delivered the feat in the game against the Washington Nationals.
Molina is in his 18th season in the majors, all at St. Louis. His first official game behind the plate was on June 3, 2004 against the Pittsburgh Pirates.
The nickname Marciano signed for another season this year.
