When a player has a three-hit game, it’s a pretty big deal: 9 times out of 10, he’ll find his name in the headline of the game recap, will be named the Player of the Game in the YES postgame show, and will be featured as the lede story by all the sports journalists, bloggers, and everyone else who writes about baseball. Barring a historic pitching performance, a walk-off hit, or shenanigans akin to the Rangers-Capitals fights last night, that batter with three hits becomes the story of the game.
