Reyes first to 100 triples

Jose Reyes became the first player in DMBL history to reach 100 triples for his career when he collected his fourth three-bagger of the season in a 9-8 win on Sunday. Reyes tripled in the 6th off Livingston's Jake Arrieta to drive in Ruben Tejada and later scored on a Victor Martinez single.

Reyes has reached double-digits in four of his six DMBL seasons, including a career-high 24 triples in 2007 -- and in 2006, splitting time between Westwood and D.C. -- and another 20 last year. He missed 2010 due to injury. But Reyes doesn't hold the season record for triples; that's Curtis Granderson, now with Las Vegas, who hit 33 in 2008 (and MicroLeague record holder Deion Sanders, who hit 62 of his 75 career triples in 1993).

The Bridgewater shortstop is off to a blistering start in 2012, leading the league in batting much of the year, thanks in part to a league-high 19-game hitting streak.

Right behind Reyes is Amityville's Carl Crawford who, with three triples this season, now has 93 for his career. After that, it's a bit of a drop-off with three retired players (Kenny Lofton, Sanders and Roberto Alomar) in the 70s, and even further for active players, with Livingston's Jimmy Rollins and Bridgewater's Carlos Beltran in the high 60s.
