Aubrey Huff's fine season produces milestone

SAN FRANCISCO -- Aubrey Huff knew that he was close to career hit No. 1,500, but he didn't know that his first-inning single on Wednesday was the one until he looked at the video board in center field at AT&T Park.

"It's a nice accomplishment," Huff said after the game, before adding, "I like to count the thousands, not the five hundreds."

Huff finished the game going 2-for-3 with a walk and is hitting .310 with 19 homers and 62 RBIs this season.

When asked if he thinks he can get to 2,000 hits, Huff -- in the midst of his 11th season -- said, "Oh, sure. I hope so. If I play that long."
