In Major League Baseball, the exclusive "4000 hit club" is an informal term referring to members of an elite group of hitters: those players that have reached 4000 hits on their careers. Currently, only two players have made the 4000 hit club - Pete Rose and Ty Cobb. Given the difficulty of attaining 4000 hits (200 hits a year for twenty years), it is unlikely that there will be any future members. The next closest player to the club is Hank Aaron, with 3771 hits. Among active players, the closest is Craig Biggio, with 2971 hits.
